ARRCON is a terminal-based RCON client that is compatible with every game that implements the Source RCON Protocol.
If you come across a game that ARRCON doesn't work with, report it here.

For other reports, see the Issues tab.

Setting up the ARRCON Client

  1. Download the latest release for your OS, and extract the .zip file to a location of your choice.
  2. (Optional) If you want to be able to use the program without having to specify the full path every time, you'll have to add the directory where you placed the ARRCON executable to your PATH environment variable.
    This is a routine process for most users experienced with using terminals, but if you're unsure see here for a guide.

Once you have ARRCON set up to your liking, you'll want to have a look at the built-in help display by running ARRCON --help.
The information shown there will always be more up-to-date than the wiki.

Connecting to your Server

You'll need to know the following information to connect to a server:

  1. The IP Address or Hostname
  2. The RCON Communications Port
  3. The RCON Password

Once you have all 3, you can connect by using this command: ARRCON -H <IP/Hostname> -P <Port> -p <Password>.
Here's an example:

ARRCON supports saving hosts to a .hosts config file should you want to.
The only requirement is choosing a unique name that you'll use instead of the hostname/port/password every time.

And to connect to the saved host: ARRCON -S myServer

You can run one-off commands like this:

Use scripts with the -f|--file option, or shell redirection operators:


Scripts are simple text files that contain one command per line.
You can comment lines by using ; or #.

# This is a comment
maps ;< That's a command
