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.

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.
