Download of new client application version, from ftp site

175 Views

Has anyone ever done an program, that could pull the latest software / updates

for clients from an ftp site.

Say.... you have an pb classic application, that does accounting operations.

But... we periodically have bug fixes / updates to that application.

It can be a big hassle to get someone on the client end... to download the new version

and, go to each machine to perform the updates.

if there was a second pb application, that would go to an ftp site

check for files to be download...

if they were there... to download them, and overwrite the powerbuilder app that does the accounting operations

So... it's basically, an update app

does this make sense?

i could probably write this myself... but, I thought someone may have already done it.

and... no point in reinventing the wheel

or.. there's probably 3rd party apps, that would do the same thing
