Hello, I am having a problem on my server: if I use a script when a user connects, a temporary file is created (this is normal behavior), but after, the file is not deleted. My server config includes: [code] client-connect client-disconnect [/code] I am running the server under Windows. The script file is a batch file and I am not using the temp file at all in my script. The problem is reproduced even if all the script does is echo someting (ECHO %username%). The output of the server is: [quote] [VPN-Client] Peer Connection Initiated with VPN-Client/ MULTI: problem deleting temporary file: C:\DOCUME~1\\LOCALS~1\Temp\\openvpn_cc_ebb2175acac7cf102257182cbff7c90a.tmp [/quote] I observed that the temp file is marked as read-only. Is this normal behavior? The file is not locked (at least not after the client connects), I can manually delete it. Since I can delete it, I presume that it isn't automatically deleted because of the read-only attribute. I am using OpenVPN version 2.2.2 both on the server and on the client.

check the permissions of the directory [quote]C:\DOCUME~1\\LOCALS~1\Temp[/quote] itself; also, try changing the temp dir location using [code]temp-dir [/code] e.g. [code]temp-dir c:\windows\temp[/code]

Problem deleting temporary file

Hello,

I am having a problem on my server: if I use a script when a user connects, a temporary file is created (this is normal behavior), but after, the file is not deleted.

My server config includes:

client-connect <script>
client-disconnect <script>

I am running the server under Windows.
The script file is a batch file and I am not using the temp file at all in my script.
The problem is reproduced even if all the script does is echo someting (ECHO %username%).

The output of the server is:

<date> <client IP> [VPN-Client] Peer Connection Initiated with <client IP>
<date> VPN-Client/<client IP> MULTI: problem deleting temporary file: C:\DOCUME~1\<user>\LOCALS~1\Temp\\openvpn_cc_ebb2175acac7cf102257182cbff7c90a.tmp

I observed that the temp file is marked as read-only. Is this normal behavior?
The file is not locked (at least not after the client connects), I can manually delete it. Since I can delete it, I presume that it isn't automatically deleted because of the read-only attribute.

I am using OpenVPN version 2.2.2 both on the server and on the client.

check the permissions of the directory

C:\DOCUME~1\<user>\LOCALS~1\Temp

itself; also, try changing the temp dir location using

temp-dir <PATH>

e.g.

temp-dir c:\windows\temp
