Definition

Name

Indicates the name of the source site containing the update files.

Enable

Enables or disables use of the source site for downloading update files.

Retrieve files from

Specifies where to retrieve the files from.

HTTP repository

Retrieves files from the designated HTTP repository location.

Note
HTTP offers updating independent of network security, but supports higher levels of concurrent connections than FTP.


URL	DNS name — Indicates that the URL is a domain name. IPv4 — Indicates that the URL is an IPv4 address. IPv6 — Indicates that the URL is an IPv6 address.
	http:// — Specifies the address of the HTTP server and folder where the update files are located.
	Port — Specifies the port number for the HTTP server.
Use authentication	Selects to use authentication and specifies the credentials for accessing the update file folder. User name — Specifies the user account with read permissions to the update file folder. Password — Specifies the password for the specified User name. Confirm password — Confirms the specified password.

FTP repository

Retrieves files from the designated FTP repository location.

Note
An FTP site offers flexibility of updating without having to adhere to network security permissions. Because FTP has been less prone to unwanted code attach than HTTP, it might offer better tolerance.


URL	DNS name — Indicates that the URL is a domain name. IPv4 — Indicates that the URL is an IPv4 address. IPv6 — Indicates that the URL is an IPv6 address.
	ftp:// — Specifies the address of the FTP server and folder where the update files are located.
	Port — Specifies the port number for the FTP server.
Use anonymous login	Selects to use anonymous FTP to access the update file folder. Deselect this option to specify access credentials. User name — Specifies the user account with read permissions to the update file folder. Password — Specifies the password for the specified User name. Confirm password — Confirms the specified password.

UNC path or Local path

Retrieves files from the designated UNC or local path location.

Note
A UNC site is the quickest and easiest to set up. Cross-domain UNC updates require security permissions for each domain, which makes update configuration more involved.


Path	UNC path — Specifies the path using UNC notation (\\servername\path\). Local path — Specifies the path of a folder on a local or network drive.
Use logged on account	Accesses the update files using the logged on account. This account must have read permissions to the folders containing the update files. Deselect this option to specify access credentials. Domain — Specifies the domain for the user account. User name — Specifies the user account with read permissions to the update file folder. Password — Specifies the password for the specified User name. Confirm password — Confirms the specified password.
