I have started with Wary 5.1.1
I NEED my work VPN available.
I have installed it on a Ubuntu laptop successfully but need it on my laptop running Puppy 5.1.1.
The Archiver on puppy does not see anything in the file so stuck before I start.
1st step, which archive application

I just found an older version of anyconnect, and it extracts just fine with XArchive.
But you probably should be doing things manually, anyway.
Assuming you have the latest anyconnect, v2.5.3054-k9, and it's located in /root/my-documents, do this
Code: Select all
cd /root/my-documents
tar -zxvf anyconnect-linux-2.5.3054-k9.tar.gz
cd ciscovpn
./vpn_install.sh
This will install the anyconnect files into /opt/cisco/vpn, and start the anyconnect daemon (vpnagentd). It will also add a file to /etc/init.d so that the anyconnect daemon is started at each boot up.
So all that's remaining to do is run this -
enter your server details, and press "Connect".

No matter what I did, it would NOT extract.
Ended up extracting on my PC, Zipping and transferring the .zip file.
Now have the ciscovpn content on puppy.
Puppy says I dont have permission to run vpn_install.sh so I assume need a sudo to do this. I assume I am root but I dont have/know a password.
Anyone know the correct method to get this to install ?

MS filesystems fail to preserve Linux file permissions.

No, you just need to make the installer file executable. Do this -
Once installed, it might also be necessary to make vpnagentd and vpnui executable.

Script worked and installed agent.
All I need to do now is figure out why it is not being seen during Login !
Thanks Muchly
