I would like to ask how I can get the FortiSSLVPNclient.exe  that I need to automate the VPN connection. 

I do not own any FortiGate products myself, but my customers for whom I maintain the software do.

Here is the link to download forticlient.

If you do not have FortiEMS contract, just download the Forticlient VPN.

Thank you, ozkamaltas.
 
Yes, but "FortiClient VPN" version does not include FortiSSLVPNClient.exe, which I need to establish a VPN connection from the command-line.
