Distributing the Remote Access Clients From the Gateway Use this procedure to distribute an upgrade of the Remote Access Clients from the Security Gateway. To distribute the Remote Access Clients from the gateway:
1. On the gateway, in the $FWDIR/conf/extender/CSHELL directory, back up the TRAC.cab and trac_ver.txt files.
2. Download the Remote Access Clients Automatic Upgrade file for your release from the Endpoint Security home page http://supportcontent.checkpoint.com/solutions?id=sk117536.
3. Put the new TRAC.cab and ver.ini files in the same directory on the gateway: $FWDIR/conf/extender/CSHELL
4. On a non-Windows gateway, run: chmod 750 TRAC.cab
5. Edit the trac_ver.txt file in the directory and change the version number to the number in the new ver.ini. Setting Up Remote Access Clients Remote Access Clients for Windows 32/64-bit Administration Guide E80.72 and Higher | 28
