Yeh, but you have to put maps with a certain ending to be seen by the autopatcher (.gz or sommit).

Yeah the autopatcher from Leo's site works very good

I use it to update my users clients.
You dont need to GZip any of the files but it does speed up things.

there is a file called !plist.lst which you have to list all the files you wish to update.

something like this
Code:
Compressed ( C- no compression Z for compressed), Date, Time (Of the file, * note modified) Size of file (see below for compresed/not compressed), Location client, location FTP
 
C 2004-01-01 12:30 1333987 Data\something.wil /Data/something.wil (- NoCompression)
Z 2004-01-01 12:30 1333987:1090999 Data\something.wil /Data/something.wil.gz
hope this helps, be warned though if you updateing alot of files, its a pain in the ass inputting all of the file details, also if you get the date wrong the file will autopatch everytime the client looks at the !plist.lst.
Another thing to be wary of is .. if the size of the compressed file isnt correct, the file will become corrupt when the autopatcher de-comresses it.
