Expecco Update Settings[Bearbeiten]

Expecco can be configured to automatically check for updates, enhancements and fixes to be loaded from a public HTTP or FTP server ("http://download.exept.de" or "ftp://ftp.exept.de").

Patches are provided on a per-release base, as a collection of individual hot fix files. Once installed as patch, these are loaded whenever the expecco application is started. Downloaded hot-fix files are stored in the "patches" directory, which is below the expecco installation directory (typically "\programs\expecco" or "/opt/expecco").

In order to protect against malware, patches are cryptographically signed by exept, and expecco will refuse to install any hot-fix, if it does not contain a corresponding signature.

Default Setup[Bearbeiten]

The default setup which is used if the dialog's fields are left empty, accesses exept's public HTTP server ("download.exept.de"). Customers with a special maintenance contract may use a non-public, customer specific account to access additional hot-fixes. You will then be given a secret username/password combination for access to your customer specific hot-fixes.

Company Local Setup[Bearbeiten]

If your infrastructure does not allow/provide access to the public internet (for example, due to security considerations), you may also setup your own company-internal HTTP or FTP service for the test hosts, and manually copy hot-fix files there. For this, change the "Update Host" field to name your company-internal server.
