Cisco VPN client connects – no command prompt
Folks,
When I connect to the remote site with Cisco VPN client and my configuration profile, I get the following output:
Code:
...
Password []:
Authenticating user.
Negotiating security policies.
Securing communication channel.
Your VPN connection is secure.
VPN tunnel information.
Client address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Server address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Encryption: 168-bit 3-des
Authentication: HMAC-MD5
IP compression: none
NAT passthrough is active on port UDP XXX
Local LAN access is disabled [it’s deliberately disabled]
It seems that the VPN client had connected (?). I would expect that the VPN client would exit (but keep running on the background), and I would get the command prompt back. Unfortunately, I don’t get a command prompt.
Why am I not getting any command prompt after connecting to the remote network through Cisco VPN client?
My ultimate goal is to write a bash script, which would connect via VPN and download some files from a remote network via FTP. Could anybody post some links to an example of a VPN session (doesn’t have to be a script)?
Thanks,
Kender
UPDATE: Well, I should have RTFMed better. There's a FAQ on a Cisco web site that directly amswers my question
