The AutoUpdate utility will make a maximum of three connection
attempts for the site during each scheduled update operation. When it
does connect and download the new .DAT file package, the utility also
extracts the files and installs them into the correct directory.
3. Specify which transfer method the utility must use to download new
files. Your choices are:
• Copy from a local network computer. Click this button to tell the
AutoUpdate utility to use your standard network configuration to
look for new files on your local computer or on a computer
elsewhere on your network. Your network settings will govern how
the utility attempts the connection and how long it waits before it
stops the connection attempt.
Next, use Universal Naming Convention (UNC) notation to enter
the path to the computer that holds the new files you want to
download in the text box labeled Select a Computer and Directory.
You can also click Browse to locate the directory you want.
To use UNC notation, you must either use the same account you
used to log into your network, or specify a user name and password
to log into your network. To use the current account, select the Use
Logged In Account checkbox.
NOTE: On Windows NT Workstation v4.0 and Windows 2000
Professional systems, selecting the Use Logged In Account
checkbox has slightly different effects. If you've scheduled
your file update, the AutoUpdate utility will use its own
service account to log on to the upgrade server and download
new files. If you click Update now, the AutoUpdate utility will
use the same account you used to log on to your network to
connect to the upgrade server.
To use a custom account, clear the Use Logged In Account
checkbox, then click UNC login information to enter a user name
and password for an account that has access rights to the target
server.
• FTP from a remote network computer. Click this button to tell the
AutoUpdate utility to look for new files on an FTP site you
designate. To use this option, the target server must have an FTP
service enabled.
By default, the utility will download new files from the Network
Associates FTP site, which accepts anonymous FTP logins. You can
click Default to specify this site at any time.
