FWIW, for a project with only a few users I just sent out emails with
the current update URL
	http://..../update-YYYYMMDD.exe
after scp-ing the installer over to the download area. Short release
notes finished the mail, just to let the users know what was fixed, improved, added.

Additionally, a .htaccess file containing

<FilesMatch "update.*\.exe$">
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Update Files"
  AuthUserFile /home/download/.htpasswd
  Require user verysecret
</FilesMatch>

protected all update....exe files from the world-at-large, while other
files in the same directory were still freely accessible. 

No tools, no website, no complaints, just a single email to a group
alias.
