I don't know if theres any tutorials, but then theres no set way of doing it. It will probably change depending on the rest of your system.

I'd do it by having your clients connect to the server, downloading a small text file - only a few bytes big, containing the URL of the new update (if there is one). If there isn't one, then theres nothing new to download.
