The TCP transfert is made for small installations
PC Designer <-> PC Player via a TCP port in/out (by default 5100, can be changed)

For massive deployment we use Pull Mode ftp or http/https
PC Designer -> ftp Server upload -> PC Player ftp download or http download

We can encrypt the configurations files .dst
If you need an encrypted upload (the standard ftp does not scramble the passwords) we can use a SSH/sftp gateway

for sFTP we use a gateway Unix/Linux
PC Designer -> gateway (can be a small PC) via a dedicated network card upload ftp –> public server synchronized via rsync sftp

We have not special request for the but by experience a Debian or a Gentoo works good, and so Unix (Solaris ou BSD). Distributions like Redhat+Plesk or Gentoo+Plesk are not recommanded (limits of ftpd).
