Custom Repo help on rented server

Recommended Posts

I rented an ARMA 2 CO server from Art of War Central. I have ftp access and control panel access only. Which method do I use to establish a custom repo for six updater to give other players the ability to download the mods I have uploaded to my server? I have found and read several guides on the topic, but I am afraid my lack of knowledge has left me confused. Can someone give me some guidance? Thank you.

To push your repository to your ftp server you must use the following format in the "Remote Folder" tab in six Updaters Custom Repo menu

"ftp://[username]:[password]@[host]/[directory]"

In the hosts tab you must add the repository directory

"http://[host]/[directory]"

Where [directory] is the same as the Repository push. If it's a directory within a directory then you must include that too like so

"http://[host]/[directory]/[directory]"

What ever way you are setting up your folders, your Hosts MUST point in to the folder where you see "@[Reponame]" "missions" "mpmissions" and so on, because it reads from the yml files.

The yml file which you will use to send to people will be the one that contains the name of your repo (The other is the config for all of the addons locations).

To place addons, you must drag them in to the "@[Reponame]" "Addons" folder, then place the Keys into the "Keys" folder.

Once that's done click "Commit & Push" on six updater to commit those changes (recognize the modifications and archive them for download) and it then pushes it to your FTP server via that directory specified.

If you have any more problems, I can make a video tutorial and upload it to youtube for you in a couple of hours, grabbing some sleep now.
