Installing and Upgrading Addons Using the FTP Addon Installer

While WDM is recommended for easy remote network management services to your thin client, you can use the FTP Addon Installer dialog box (only available to administrators) to install and upgrade Addons which are in Microsoft .msi form. The FTP Addons utility allows you to manually or automatically install/upgrade Addons on a thin client by downloading MSI packages from a specified FTP server.
