Auto-update Utility
Overview
The auto-update utility enables you to connect to an eSafe update site to check whether your server contains the latest version of eSafe applications, and if not, to download an update file named OXRUPD.EXE. It also allows you to create a schedule for performing this operation automatically on a regular basis.

When an update is downloaded, the automatic update utility immediately updates all eSafe applications on the server and deploys the updated versions to all clients.
Each server can update itself directly from the eSafe FTP site or from another server on your network that has already downloaded the update. When updating from the eSafe FTP site, you must use FTP protocol. However, when updating from another server on your network, you can use either FTP or Uniform Name Convention (UNC) protocol.

2. If you want the server to use UNC protocol to download the update from another server, select Update form UNC path and enter the name of the path. This method allows you to copy file from one drive to another without having to download.
