Abstract
A system with resource server updating provides upgraded system operation by installing replacement files on the resource when needed and without manual intervention. The system in an exemplary embodiment includes client workstations, a file server, and several resource servers coupled to a network for data communication. Several printers, scanners, and other peripherals are coupled to each resource server. In response to a hypertext page provided by the file server to a workstation, a user initiates file version checking and file replacements on all resource servers on the network. Replacement files exist on the file server or are obtained from a remote file server, as needed.
