Connecting and disconnecting VPN through command line

[danielsah]

Hi,

We are using FortiClient VPN 6 (on Windows) to connect to various endpoints.

Is it possible to initiate a connection on the command line?

I've seen the following post https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=155494 however we don't have FortiSSLVPNclient.exe.

I've tried the different programs in C:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient but none respond to /? or to any command line arguments that I've tried.

Thanks for any ideas

Hey danielsah,

If you haven't found the solution to this already - 

The FortiSSLVPNclient.exe program is provided in the FortiClientTools package.

You will need to download this separately from the Fortinet support site.

Cheers.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply! I've searched the support site but I can't find the FortiClientTools package. Perhaps I can only access the download if I have a registered support agreement, which I don't have since we are not the owners of the endpoints. I will reach out to the endpoint owners and request that they get the package for us.

Thanks again!

Kind regards,

Daniel
