Keep FileUtils up to date on your Mac
FileUtils is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships.
How FileUtils gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where FileUtils's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out.
The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from FileUtils's own updater, or from the developer's site.

How does Floodtide install a new version of FileUtils?
It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as FileUtils's developer publishes it, and you update from FileUtils's own updater or the developer's site.
