If anyone is doing a lot of work remotely with upgrades of Sage 100 (formerly Sage ERP MAS 90, 200) --- let me know as I'm working on creating a Dropbox account (
https://www.dropbox.com/tour/1... ) that will:
1. Store all the files, patches, common add-ons needed for a typical Sage 100 upgrade (Including the 2.3 GB source disk needed for install).
2. Provide a way for you to:
a. Log in remotely to your customer (most likely the server)
b. Install Drop Box
c. Let the files sync overnight
What this may save is the time you would otherwise spend downloading and creating file structures on the customer's server.
By creating the structure ahead of time - you should be able to login, install Dropbox, let Dropbox sync all the files to the local server desktop thereby saving you the time required to individually download files and to create a folder structure.
This might also be a benefit we can silently offer to good customers (on OUR support plan) who want to self-upgrade.
