How To Use RCON On Your Conan Exiles Server - Conan-exiles Guide

All GhostCap Conan Exiles servers have RCON enabled by default, and commands can be run directly through the server Console. Here's how to use RCON on your Conan Exiles server, along with a list of the available RCON commands.

Using RCON Commands

Log in to the GhostCap Panel and select your server.
In the sidebar, go to Console.
Type your desired command and press Enter.

RCON Settings

Your RCON port and password are managed in the GhostCap Panel, so there's no need to edit any configuration files. If you're using an external RCON client such as mcrcon to connect to your server, you can find your connection details in Server Options under RCON.

Log in to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your server.
In the sidebar, go to Server Options.
Under RCON, edit the setting you want to change.
Start your server.

`RCON Port`	The port used for RCON.
`RCON Password`	The password required to connect via RCON.
`RCON Message Method`	How messages sent over RCON are delivered in-game. Choose between `Broadcast`, `Server` and `Alert`.
