That's really the point of my .cs file I uncluded, it already shows how to do such things, nothing more I really think I can add to make it more clear.

Client: 5056
Server: UPDATE 64.151.87.40 enzf/5057.exe

If he's not up to date you send back "UPDATE 64.151.87.40 enzf/5057.exe" which consist of:
- The Red part is the text "UPDATE".
- The Green part is the IP address of the server where you host your updates / patches, so this is NOT the same as your autopatch server IP unless you also host the actual patch files on that machine.
- The Blue part is the folder and file name of the update / patch.


its only says


const string clientVer = "0";
string msgUpdate = "UPDATE";
string msgReady = "READY";
string msgIP = "127.0.0.1";
string msgLocation = "/updates/1.exe";


wat would that section look like if i was at patch 0 and needed to get to like say patch 3?

I'm really not sure what's causing that, are you sure it's not getting blocked by anything?
Have you tried a different (remote) ftp server too?
Plus as I mentioned a few posts before, have you tried using one of the original conquer patch files?
It might not download files that aren't named "properly" aka, it might only work with <number>.exe and <number> - <number>.exe like 5063.exe for example.

Let me know if you find out what's causing it.

well my ftp server logs connections, and it's not even attempting to log on, but i've had people manually download my patches from my ftp server just fine.... so I dunno what's up
