Can't pipe content into text file - Help please!

[astroboy100]

I'm trying to setup my ClientVPN and the instructions tell me to enter in the following
echo "username" > /tmp/password.txt
echo "password" >> /tmp/password.txt

but when I do that and then look at the file it has 0 bytes and if I run the command cat /tmp/password.txt then the screen is blank.

Any ideas how I can get the required text into the file...the file gets created ok and has the following permissions: -rw-rw-rw-

Thanks!

Try to use this conf:

echo "username /password" > /tmp/openvpn-auth.conf

chmod +x /tmp/openvpn-auth.conf

You have double >> on one line and openvpn use .conf to password
