    I run my bukkit server from my basement PC. I am extremely tired of walking up and down the steps to type commands in the console. Is there a remote host for 1.7.2 that will allow me to use the console from upstairs in my room.

    What's wrong with giving OP to yourself and controlling the server from anywhere?

    Nothing is wrong with it, but there are many commands and things that can only be done via console

    1. Dosn't allow me to use any PEX commands (I know there is a way to allow this, but it gets to messy)
    2. In my old server I had many complains about people breaking chat rules. Console is a good way to log chat.
    3. It's just easier to work with than using commands in game.

    Anyone? Please....

    I also have this problem and there don't seem to be many solutions. If you are willing to change to a Linux operator, MineOS is perfect. Unless you wanted to share your desktop with that other computer, there isn't anything that can help.

    You can "share your desktop" in many ways, Windows offers a free and easy way to do so.

    Have you tried windows remote desktop? If that doesn't work try TightVNC or TeamViewer. These will let you see the desktop of you downstairs computer and remotely control it. Alternatively if you want console only minecraft can use rcon. a good client for this is mcrcon have a look at it >here<. That's all for if you have windows on your server, if you switch to Linux things become much simpler and all you need to do is run your minecraft inside a screen session, and connect to it via ssh. A good client for this for your upstairs PC is PuTTY. Hope this helps.

    MCrcon seems like it would works fine, but is there any instructions on how to use it?

    The Easiest way is to run either launch.bat or create_shortcut.bat found in the windows zip file download. Pretty self explanatory as those will step you through creating a connection on your desktop computer. For the server, you need to have three new lines in your server.properties:
    Code:
    enable-rcon=true
    rcon.password=*******
    rcon.port=25575
    Note: 25575 is the default rcon server port
    If you enter all the details right you should end up with a command prompt like interface where you can issue commands to your minecraft server.

    Heres the output of the mcrcon.exe help:

    Code:
    Usage: mcrcon [OPTIONS]... [COMMANDS]...
    Sends rcon commands to minecraft server.
     
    Option:
      -h            Prints usage.
      -s            Silent mode. Do not print data received from rcon.
      -t            Terminal mode. Acts as interactive terminal.
      -p            Rcon password. Default: "".
      -H            Host address or ip.
      -P            Port. Default: 25575.
      -c            Do not print colors. Disables bukkit color printing.
     
    Invidual commands must be separated with spaces.
     
    Example:
      mcrcon -c -H 192.168.1.42 -P 9999 -p password cmd1 "cmd2 with spaces"
     
    minecraft rcon (mcrcon) 0.0.5.
    Report bugs to tiiffi_at_gmail_dot_com.
    
    Note: the -s and the -t are probably the most useful options when you're writing your own custom batch files and such.
    Hope this helps
