Lance,

It seems, from your command prompt, that you're in your home directory.
(The "~" near the end indicates "home".) The "desktop" is usually a
subdirectory of your home. Try one or the other of these two possibilities:

cd Desktop
./vpn_install

or

./Desktop/vpn_install

...using whichever "D" -- upper or lower -- matches what your desktop
directory is actually called. Running 'ls' from within your home
directory will help you determine this.


Cheers,

-sth
