Hi,
I used Manage Software Distribution Packages dashboard to create my test package and task to silently install one .exe file. After Take Action I got this error:
Download error: “The only supported protocols are http, https, and ftp”
Could somebody, please, explain me, what is SWDProtocol which is used to download? Where is my fault? Or did I forgot to install something?
Thank you in advance.

Software Distribution uses our “download plugin” mechanism, which allows our content to define custom behavior on the relays/server when a file is downloaded.
“SWDProtocol” is how we let the download plugin know to use our special protocol when a file is requested (i believe for SWD, this lets us handle a special cache structure on the server, so that we can have the file stored once on the server, even if its used by many fixlets.)
To get this to work however you will need to install the download plugin. You can do this by going to the “Setup” node of the software distribution site, and running the “BES Server: Register Download Plug-in for Software Distribution” against your bes server.
