Update media-catalog via Internet
With MyBusinessCatalog, you can upload updates for previously
created media catalog for Windows .
The essence of the system is as follows: you, as an administrator, upload updates via the FTP protocol
to your website in a public folder, and the client catalog automatically downloads updates via the HTTP protocol.
Thus, a folder on your site acts as a cloud for updates.
The entire user interface is reduced to a single update status icon, by clicking on which you can get current information on the process. The update itself runs without user interaction, but can be turned off if desired.
To upload the updates of the media catalog, open the window of the updates wizard.
