Client Updater for 5.0.205

[jwarthman]

I have posted this question in two other forums, but received no answers. Perhaps this is the best place to get an answer, and as they say, "threee's a charm"! :-)

 

 

 

I have updated my workgroup edition to 5.0.205, but the updater doesn't seem to install any updated clients. How do we bring our Mac (OS X and OS 9) and Windows clients up to date?

 

 

 

For that matter, what is the latest version of the client software for these platforms?

 

 

 

Thanks!

Jim,

 

 

 

You don't have to have your clients in perfect sync with the version of the server e.g. I use v3. and various v.4 clients with server 4.3. Mac

 

 

 

(In the following I'm endeavouring to answer you - can't promise accuracy.) V.5 server is more restrictive - the clients must be TCP/IP, I think. And v.5 clients are required on OS X. That said, I suspect you can happily run v4. Mac clients (not on OS X) and v5.6 Win clients with v5.0 server.

 

 

 

I can't see any 5.0 client updates in ftp://ftp.dantz.com/pub/

Pfyfe,

 

Thanks for your thoughts!

 

 

 

I've been running Retrospect 5 since it first shipped. My clients are all up-to-date with that initial version.

 

 

 

What I'm looking for is some "official" feedback from Dantz to define what clients can be/should be used with this latest version of Workgroup.

 

 

 

Enjoy!

I'd also like to know what the lates version of the client is. I updated a bunch of Mac OS 9 clients a few weeks ago & they show as 5.0.201. I apparently trashed the installer for that & the one I just downloaded from Dantz is an older version.
