  The following resources can be used as a source of updates for the distribution point:

  • Local or network folder

    A local or network folder that contains the latest updates. A network folder can be an FTP or HTTP server, or an SMB share. If a network folder requires authentication, only the SMB protocol is supported. When selecting a local folder, you must specify a folder on the device that has Administration Server installed.

    An FTP or HTTP server or a network folder used by an update source must contain a folders structure (with updates) that matches the structure created when using Kaspersky update servers.

  If you enable the Do not use proxy server option for the Kaspersky update servers or Local or network folder sources of update, a distribution point does not use a proxy server for downloading updates, even if you enabled the option Use proxy server of the Network Agent policy settings for the distribution point.
