Method 3: Installing over the network

To install the SunSoft SunOS 4.1.3 Client Agent on your workstation using FTP (File Transfer Protocol):

  1. Log in to the desired SunOS workstation as root.

  2. At the command line, enter:

    cd /tmp

  3. Initialize an FTP session by typing:

    ftp <server_hostname>

    where <server_hostname> is the name of the system where the SCO CD-ROM disk has been mounted.

  4. At the FTP prompt, enter your user name.

  5. Enter your password.

  6. At the FTP prompt, enter:

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/sun4

    In this example, /mnt refers to the CD-ROM drive's mount point. It must be the first directory listed in the path to the Client Agent files, and you must specify the full path of where the install.sh and uag.31 files reside. If you are using a different directory as your mount point, specify that directory name instead of /mnt.

  7. Enter binary at the FTP prompt.

  8. To retrieve the install script and the disk distribution file, type:

    mget install.sh uag.31

    You see a message informing you of the status of the mget command. If the command is successful, the file sizes are listed and both files are then available in the /tmp directory on the workstation.

  9. End the FTP session by entering bye.

  10. To install the SunSoft SunOS 4.1.3 Client Agent from the uag.31 file, enter:

    ./install.sh
