Running Ghost.exe on a client computer
When using GhostCasting, the client executable, Ghost.exe, restores a GhostCast
copy of an image file onto the client computer or creates an image file onto the
GhostCast Server.
Ghost.exe runs under DOS and uses a packet driver interface to the network card.
The TCP/IP settings are stored in a configuration file Wattcp.cfg that is located
in the same directory as Ghost.exe.
As with all Symantec Ghost applications, DHCP, BOOTP, and manually set IP
addresses are supported.
Use the Symantec Ghost GhostCast client command-line switches to run Ghost.exe
from the command line or in the GhostCast session.
See “About Symantec Ghost switches” on page 131.
For a GhostCasting session, the selection of the partition or drive to write to, or
read from, on the client is specified either on the client or in the command-line
option on the server. Use the -ja switch on the client to run the operation from
the server.
See “Creating a backup image file” on page 19.
For any GhostCasting session, the session name on the entry screen of the client
should match the GhostCast Server session name.
