| The key here is making sure you are in the CrushFTP directory (so its the working directory), and using the "-d" option to start in daemon mode. If you are not in the right directory when you start CrushFTP, it will start generating a new prefs.xml file and users folder from the new location where you started it. |

The script is crushftp_init.sh. Its included with your download of CrushFTP already. You must edit the script the first time you use it to set the correct path in it. |

| While you technically can do everything with CrushFTP from the command line and editing text XML files, its much easier to use a GUI to do this. You can use remote administration with CrushFTP in order to remote control a headless server. This lets you have a full GUI controlling the headless linux installations of CrushFTP. |

| You can then login using this username from a ftp client, or via the remote admin interface of CrushFTP. I recommend using remote admin using HTTP over port 8080. For FTP to work, you may need to adjust the 'passive' IP in the server preferences if CrushFTP has detected the wrong IP on your machine. |

| The basics are opening CrushFTP, clicking manage servers button in the upper right. Add a new item, click on it and set the URL to match the credentials of the user you just made. ''http://remoteadmin:mypassword@192.168.x.x:8080/'' Click apply, then click OK to close the manage servers window. Finally, select your server from the drop down and wait as CrushFTP connects to your server and gives you a remote admin interface to the GUI of the headless server. |

| You can also do it from a script. Let me explain. CrushFTP supports the "SITE QUIT" command if it has been enabled in the User Manager under the Admin tab for a user. So you can have a scripted command that simply logs into the server, issues SITE QUIT, then logs out. The server will then gracefully quit saving any unsaved data to disk before exiting. |
