Hi Funkylicious

 

The page you shared is about FortiClient EMS, while the package is called FortiClient Server.

So to clarify this I installed the package on my Ubuntu and found that it is a version of FortiClient that is designed for servers without GUI. This FortiClient is fully manageable from CLI.

It exists since FCT 6.2.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/6.2.0/new-features/41299/cli-support-for-forticlient-linux

 

FortiClient (Linux) now supports an installer targeted towards the headless version of Linux server. FortiClient (Linux) 6.2.0 for servers (forticlient_server_6.2.0.0xxx) offers a command line interface and is intended to be used with the CLI-only (headless) installation.
