Auto-Updater software for my MOD? - KG64_Cnopicilin - 11.03.2011

Hello!

I've uploaded another version of my CoD 4 mod to strategyinformer, but today somebody had found a bug in it.
I am sick of constantly uploading new versions of the mod and filling the site with them, so I thought if it could be updated with a
shortcut like UP update and restore.

Does anybody know how I could update one folder from a server when the server-side folder gets new stuff in it?

Thanks!

Well you could ask the UP guys how they did it, that would be your best bet :wink:

Or download an .EXE program to make files into .EXE's :wink:

You'll need to have a dedicated FTP that the program can pull files from.
Then write yourself a program in either Java, VB or one of the C languages to access the FTP site, compare the source files with the destination and do the transfers/installations.

S!
