Expecco Update Settings[Bearbeiten]
Expecco can be configured to automatically check for updates, enhancements and fixes to be loaded from a public ftp server ("ftp.exept.de").
Patches are provided on a per-release base, as a collection of individual hot fix files. These are loaded whenever the expecco application is started. Downloaded hotfix 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 hotfix, 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 ftp server. Customers with a special contract may use a non-public, customer specific account to access additional hotfixes. You will then be given a secret username/password combination for access to your customer specific hotfixes.
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 ftp service for the test hosts, and manually copy hotfix files there. For this, change the "Update Host" field to name your company-internal ftp server.
