To store plug-in files on a Windows server, create a folder in the AutoUpdate folder named after the plug-in,

and a subfolder for each version of the plug-in. Store the plug-in file in the version subfolder.

Examples:

C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Data\Databases\AutoUpdate

\FMS_Sample_PlugIn\1.0\

C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Data\Databases\AutoUpdate

\FMS_Sample_PlugIn\1.0\FMS_Sample_PlugIn.fmx

C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Data\Databases\AutoUpdate

\FMS_Sample_PlugIn\1.0\FMS_Sample_PlugIn.fmplugin.tar

C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Data\Databases\AutoUpdate

\FMS_Sample_PlugIn\2.0\FMS_Sample_PlugIn.fmx

C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Data\Databases\AutoUpdate

\FMS_Sample_PlugIn\2.0\FMS_Sample_PlugIn.fmplugin.tar
