To upgrade the Agent, download the latest version of the Agent and replace the previous files-agent executable with the newer downloaded version.

Stop and restart the Agent. No changes to the configuration file are required for an upgrade.

If the Agent has been installed as a system service, stop and restart the system service.

Files.com releases regular updates to the Agent, however you do not need to update a correctly working Agent. We will inform you about a required update, such as when a version is at end-of-support or when encryption ciphers require an update.
