The UpDater Utility for SRE-http

SREhttp/2 |

UpDater, (stable) beta 1.10

(updated 2 January 2000)

UpDater (pre-release beta, ver 1.10) is a mirroring program, it is used to update a set of files on a remote server (or on a client's workstation), so that they are the same as a set of files on a central server.

UpDater features include:

Can be used as addon for the SRE-http web server; or as a cgi-bin script on most OS/2 web servers that support cgi-bin.

A central server can distribute an unlimited number of "packages"

Each package can have an unlimited number of files, defined using wildcardable "include" and "exclude" file descriptors.

Access to specific packages can be limited to authorized users

Packages can be obtained by "remote servers" or by "remote clients"

A remote server can access any number of central servers, and is managed via the net (using HTML forms).

A remote client (which can run on any OS/2 machine with Netscape) can access any number of central servers, and is managed via the net (using HTML forms, and via a non-GUI Netscape helper application).

GZIP and Rsync are used to reduce the size of file transfers (both can be suppressed on a file specific basis)

A package specific installation program can be run on a "remote client" after all files have been UpDated.
