Deploying repository folders to client systems
Instead of using a network share on a LAN, you can use a local system such as the
administrator system for package storage. Once you have created a repository
folder, you can then push the folder to client systems. This method will enable you
to use Update Retriever on a designated machine to download updates to a
repository folder and then push out the folder containing the update packages to
client systems. When the client systems run EasyUpdate, EasyUpdate will obtain
updates directly from the folder that you deployed. The following illustration

system to client systems:
