Problem with FTP path given by DHCP for auto-configuration
Problem with FTP path given by DHCP for auto-configuration
Hi,
I use a FTP server (W2K8R2) to auto-configure all my Wyse Thin clients. For the moment I have 5 remote sites (or clients) that use this server and I never get a problem. Every site have a dedicated folder on the FTP server.
On remote sites, DHCP settings are given by a Cisco 881 router.
For one remote site I have a problem with the FTP path given by the DHCP, the path was "changed" with false value.
DHCP Config:
Client 1:
ip dhcp pool LAN network 10.0.243.192 255.255.255.192 default-router 10.0.243.193 dns-server 10.0.7.2 10.0.7.20 option 161 ip 192.168.100.4 option 162 ascii "/lanty$"
Result on the thin client interface in File Servers/Path (same in the FTP logs) 192.168.100.4/client1 -> Work fine
Client 2:
ip dhcp pool Data network 10.0.192.0 255.255.255.0 default-router 10.0.192.1 dns-server 192.168.1.7 192.168.1.32 option 161 ip 192.168.100.4 option 162 ascii "/agir$"
Result on the thin client interface in File Servers/Path (same in the FTP logs) 192.168.100.4/"/client2$"/wyse -> Doesn't work
We have try many settings on the Cisco DHCP router and never found why the path is incorrectly set from DHCP.
Have someone encounter this problem???
FTP server is not the problem, we disable the option 161/162 settings and set it manually to the Wyse and configuration was download without problem...
Yes it was the same result. For the $, I read the documentation before implement it
Note: Verify that the devices are getting the correct FTP path. If only the “/” is used , for Wyse ThinOS and Xenith, the default path will be ftproot/Wyse/WNOS for Windows CE, the default path will be ftproot/Wyse/CE/Platform/ Non-FP/USA for Wyse Linux, the default path will be ftproot/Wyse/WLX
If you use the “/$”, the “Wyse” portion of the path will be truncated for Wyse ThinOS and Xenith, the default path will be ftproot/WNOS for Windows CE, the default path will be ftproot/CE/Platform/ Non-FP/USA for Wyse Linux, the default path will be ftproot/WLX
If you use the “/AnyWord$”, the “AnyWord” will replace “Wyse” from the path for Wyse ThinOS and Xenith, the default path will be ftproot/AnyWord/WNOS for Windows CE, the default path will be ftproot/AnyWord/CE/Platform/ Non-FP/USA for Wyse Linux, the default path will be ftproot/AnyWord/WLX

Have you tried it without the $ ? I'm just a little bit curious why you'd want that in an ftp directory name.
