Tell me which way to look if I need to organize an update server? There is a launcher for the game and, if necessary, it downloads updates. Now it is implemented via ftp, but as far as I understand it is not good.

If the volume of updates is small (only the launcher itself is updated), then returning a new version via http or ftp is not something bad.
On the other hand, if updates include a game client up to several gigabytes in size, then you should look towards p2p . Those. distribution of the client through torrent (not necessarily it) - this will avoid too much load on the update server when a new version of the client is released.
To work with torrents you can use the free monotorrent or libtorrent libraries.
