Title: rcon client, not Tremulous?
Post by: stalefries on May 15, 2007, 10:16:44 pm

I've been trying to find a program so that I can do a remote rcon login, but without opening Tremulous and joining the server. Does anyone know of a program that can do that?

there are a lot of them, but they aren't the greatest idea (in fact it's pretty trivial to write one yourself: to the server ip:port (on udp) just send \xff\xff\xff\xffrcon password command) because they send your password as cleartext over the internet, if you have access to the server over ssh, it's a much better idea to use that.

Try RCON Unlimited, its on fileplanet, etc.

A no strings attached tool, and can be modified with more autocomplete, as the files for that are just .txt

OK, assuming I get ssh access, then what do I do? (Hint: this is a windows server, not under my control) In fact, do ssh servers even work on Windows for something non-cygwin?

Paradox: maybe I should have worded myself better, I'm interested in a program where it is as if I were sitting at the console, so that I can see what's going on, not just send commands.
