Note If using a Snap Server, copy the files to the root of a share. You can configure other Snap Servers to automatically get their signature updates from a single Snap Server (see following procedure). To do so, the update files must reside on the root of a share, not a subdirectory within a share. 3 Navigate to Scanner > Signature Update Options, and click the Incoming tab. 4 Click the Add button, then select Local Path from the Method pull-down menu. 5 In the Path field, enter the path to the directory on the server on which the update file resides.

Updating a Snap Server that does not have Internet Access
If you have Snap Servers that do not have Internet access, use the following
procedures to download the signature files to a machine with Internet access and
then copy them to the Snap Server.
Note
When retrieving signature updates, the antivirus software attempts to connect
to all the sites in the site list in the order they are listed. To avoid delays or
superfluous error messages, delete the default FTP option from the list on Snap
Servers that have no Internet access.
1
Using a workstation with Internet access, go to
inoculan/scaneng
and download the following files.
• All
*.tar
files containing the word
Linux
, e.g.,
fi_Linux_i386.tar
and
ii_Linux_i386.tar
• All
*.txt
files containing the string
Sig
, e.g.,
Siglist.txt
and
Siglist2.txt
2
Using a method appropriate to your environment, copy the update files to a Snap
Server (or any FTP or Windows/SMB server).
Note
If using a Snap Server, copy the files to the root of a share. You can
configure other Snap Servers to automatically get their signature updates from a
single Snap Server (see following procedure). To do so, the update files must
reside on the root of a share, not a subdirectory within a share.
3
Navigate to
Scanner > Signature Update Options
, and click the
Incoming
tab.
4
Click the
Add
button, then select
Local Path
from the Method pull-down menu.
5
In the Path field, enter the path to the directory on the server on which the update
file resides. If you are using a Snap Server, the path would be similar to the
following:
/shares
/
SHARE1/sigfiles
where
SHARE1/sigfiles
is the share path to the directory containing the signature
update files.
6
Click
OK
. The path appears in the list box.

Distributing Updates from One Server to Another
When retrieving signature updates, the antivirus software attempts to connect to all
the sites in the site list in the order they are listed. To avoid delays or superfluous
error messages, delete the default FTP option from the list on Snap Servers that
have no Internet access.
