Note

You can access further settings for updating via a file server under:

Configuration > Local protection > Update > File server.

If this option is enabled, you can configure the file server you are using.

11.4.1 File server

In the case of more than one workstation on a network, your Avira product can download

an update from a file server in the intranet, which in turn obtains the update files from a

proprietary download server on the Internet. This ensures that the Avira product is up-to-

date on all workstations.

Note

The Configuration heading is only enabled if under Configuration > PC

Protection > Update the via File Server / Shared folders option has been

selected.

Download

Enter the name of the file server on which the update files for your Avira product and

the required directories '/release/update/' are located. The following must be specified:

file://<IP address of the file server>/release/update/. The 'release' directory must be a

directory that can be accessed by all users.

The button opens a window in which you can select the required download directory.

Server login

Enter a user name to log in on the server. Use a user account with access rights to the

used shared folders on the server.

Enter the password for the user account. The characters entered are masked with *.

Note

If you do not specify any data in the Server login section, no authentication will

be performed when accessing the file server. In this case the user must have

sufficient rights for the file server.
