I use Windows XP Embedded.

I want to update/replace some system files.

For this, i want to download particular Files from a Server present in
the Network using FTP.

This could bin done in Windows CE, just by giving the FTP Server
address.

How can this set be set, when I am booting from Windows XP Embedded.
 
Dear All,

One more information. In case of Windows CE the entire kernel is
bundled as a single file. Before starting the Windows CE kernel checks
for the setting, if any FTP is needed. If it finds that FTP is needed,
then, the system contacts that FTP server and starts downloading the
image and replaces the existing image with a newer image.

How could this be done here in Windows XP Embedded?

Further more, in case of XPe, there is no such single file as in case
of WinCE. We have a combination of Reg Entries and system files.

Please give your suggestions regarding this.

with regards,
Ranga.
 
Ranga,
I wrote a BITS application that does this; it updates my apps and sys files.
I started with this example and created a service. The article is by Duncan
Mackenzie:

One thing that is nice about this technology is that it queues your files to
download and if the connection is disrupted the download will resume after
the connection has been re-established; kind of a fail safe way to deliver
your files.
