Strange SVN scenario - checkouts need to update with no SSH access

Hoping someone has ran into this scenario and can lead me in the right direction.

How does Foo inc. host the code and perform updates to Company A's servers?

I was thinking perhaps a cron job which runs on Company's A servers and looks for updates on Foo's servers? Should I be looking into CruiseControl or Hudson? Is there something I'm missing that could be easier?

Thanks.

I think your suggestion is perfectly reasonable.

Foo inc hosts the code, and Company A has access to do updates.

You could consider using a distributed VCS such as Mercurial/Bazaar/Git.

More importantly, does Company A REALLY want to automatically update? Obviously I don't know the real-world implementation here, but in general, automatically updating someone elses checkout is... well.. rude (and probably dangerous).
