Hi,

It would be good if NxClient was stored in NxServer so it can download quicker for NxClient's that wasn't connected to the server when it was updated.

As an example. lets say UserA connected to the server and updated the server to a new version. UserA would get the new NxClient build while the server updated since they was connected to the server.

UserB, UserC etc wasn't connected to the server during the update, so UserB, UserC etc missed out on getting the update. Next time UserB, UserC etc logs into the server it comes up asking them to download the new NxClient build before you can connect to it.

Rather than UserB, UserC etc connecting to the internet to download the new NxClient build, if the required NxClient build was stored on the NxServer and it could be downloaded from the NxServer. This will help with offline installations where there is no internet connection for UserB, UserC while on site. (They might also have a slow internet connection, so by downloading it from the NxServer it will help speed things up).

Similar to how some cameras require ActiveX plugins. Rather than going online to download the ActiveX Plugin it downloads the plugin from the camera. If a similar thing could be done to download NxClient from the NxServer so it doesn't require an internet connection to download the new build to be able to connect to NxServer.

  Hi, Aaron.

  Thank you, it's definitely a good improvement. We've planned it for the 4.2 release.
