I have FinalBuilder 6 Std on my development machine and on my production server Automise 3.
To do a build and release it currently I run my Finalbuilder project which builds the app and uploads it to the server via FTP.
I then logon via remote desktop to the server and run an Automise project which performs the deployment.
I would like to eliminate the need to use remote desktop and be able to trigger the whole operation in one step from my development machine.
I need a way to start an Automise project on a remote machine across the internet. Is there anything built into FinalBuilder or Automise that will help me with this?
I would recommend PSTools (psexec) however I’m not sure how that would work over the net, you would be exposing too much to hackers. Windows is actually pretty poor when it comes to that sort of thing. Operating systems like Unix/Linux have supported protocols to so secure remote execution for a long time. Another option would be to set up a VPN between your desktop and the server, that way you can then use the remote machine as though it was on your lan, so psexec is usable. I’ve used pstools over a vpn before although in that case I used it to kill an errant process not start new ones.
