Hi all,

just installed SC 6.4 client on a Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-63-generic x86_64) headless machine with the "ScreenConnect.ClientSetup.sh" command.

But the headless machine doesn't appear under our SC access list and the log /var/log/screenconnect is showing:

Code:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.screenconnect.client.Program.main(Program.java:74)


Is anything missing? Any ideas to troubleshoot?

Hi Scott,

we were able to determine with support's help (bug reporting => ticket => solved)


We used wget to pull the URL for our access client. Since there are ampersands in that URL, the wget did not work as expected, but after building the installer and used SCP to move the client to the Linux server it worked.

In my point of view I want to install SC on headless linux machines in cases I don't have direct access over SSH (SCP). How to download the access client in the right and easiest way?
