Placing the INI Files into the Folder Structure on the Server

If you have set up your environment to provide your thin clients running ThinOS with automatic updates and configurations as described in Administrators Guide: Wyse ThinOS , you can use the following folder structure on your server under the C:/inetpub/ftproot folder , for FTP or C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder, for HTTP or HTTPS and place your INI files and other necessary files inside the structure as noted. This list describes the folder structure, starting with the root directory.

/wyse/ (Required) The root directory. It stores the wnos folder.
/wyse/wnos
(Required) The main INI configuration folder. It stores the wnos.ini file, {username}.ini file, $MAC.ini file, firmware, and the following optional folders:
  • bitmap folder

  • cacerts folder

  • font folder

  • inc folder

  • ini folder

  • locale folder

  • trace folder
/wyse/wnos/bitmap

(Optional) The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use.

/wyse/wnos/cacerts

(Optional) The folder where you can place the CA certificates that can be imported to a thin client.

  • NOTE:

    Use the AddCertificate INI parameter in the wnos.ini file to import the certificates to thin clients.

/wyse/wnos/font

(Optional) The folder where you can place font files for languages such as Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, and Korean that require the file.

/wyse/wnos/inc

(Optional) The folder where you can place the mac.ini files.

  • NOTE: The use of parameter Include=$mac.ini will load /wnos/inc/mac-address.ini so that you can use inc in the folder structure and use $MAC.ini.
/wyse/wnos/ini

(Optional) The folder where you can place the {username}.ini files and {group} folder.

/wyse/wnos/trace
(Optional) The folder where you can place the trace files that you can capture and play back.
