5.10 Preparing to update software
You require the PuTTY program package for execution. This is a free, open-source SSH, Telnet and
Rlogin client that facilitates remote operation of Unix systems by Windows computers.
Install the
PuTTY
program package (entire package, version >= 0.62).
Updates or upgrades are performed using batch files, in which
C:\Programs\PuTTY
is specified as
default installation path for PuTTY.
The path for the programs
pscp.exe
and
plink.exe
(part of PuTTY) is defined in the batch file
setpathvars.bat
. The system password can also be found here.
Open
setpathvars.bat
in an editor and enter the system password.
Adjust the paths for the programs
pscp.exe
and
plink.exe
if required, for example if you have
saved PuTTY on a USB stick.
5.11 Updating software
In order to update the software, the
PuTTY
program package must be installed on the service PC.
Updates are performed by means of batch files and the Windows input prompt
cmd.exe
.
The update files should be located in the same folder as the batch files, to avoid error messages.
The following batch files are available:
File name
Purpose
setpathvars.bat
You require this file for all updates. You can enter the system password
here in order to make it invisible in
cmd.exe

paths of the programs

and
plink.exe
here, e.g. in the event
of an update using a USB stick (default:
C:\Programs\PuTTY
).
