the URL to the directory where updates reside.

4 Click the Sources of Operating System Updates tab.
5 To exclude the Plesk Updates server from the updates sources, click

6 Click Add Source and specify the following:
Source type. Leave the repomd (xml-rpm-metadata repository) value selected if you
are going to receive updates from the vendor's site. To receive updates from a
directory on the server's hard disk or from a mounted network share, select the
directory (local directory) value.

Source priority. If you use several download sites, you can specify the order in
which they should be polled for updates. To do this, specify different level of
priority for each of the sources: select a value from the list, or select Custom and
type a number from 1 (lowest) to 999 (highest).
Authentication. If you need to authenticate at the vendor's site in order to receive
updates, select the Authentication check box and specify your user name and
