    Program Update

    Here is my idea. I release a program and download it to a customer. It is a client server app. I place the new release in the same folder on the server and would like to have the client (program) check for the newer version on the server. They could be anywhere on the network and be able to use the ip of the server but not have shared access to the server. How is something like this done? I am more looking for ideas or links to articles on the subject than looking for code ( sure that will come later).........



    Thanks in advance..

    You will need a shared folder that your app could have access to. Check out the CodeBank. Wokawidget has posted code for his AutoUpdater. You may get some ideas from it.

    We use a Wise Installer Script that updates the client software from our FTP. If you are interested I can post it for you.
