Mainly the deployment runs directly from a share. But it is also
possible to use it via http[s]|ftp to retrieve the software files. I am
currently dont know what you mean with "we need to be able to retrieve
file ourself"...

Yes it is for some things, eg. it produces software scripts for
download, update and install software. Also it can produce files for
installing operating systems without interaction. But I dont know how
you will use this without preconfigure the host...
