Video covering all these steps. [Linux_Install.mov|https://www.crushftp.com/Docs/Videos/Linux_Install.mov]
Every linux distro is slightly different. This guide is intended to cover the basics and show you around some of the ways you can configure and work with CrushFTP. You can try the single line in Linux for an automated download and install...may work on most distros.\\

First, make sure Java is installed properly. By default most linux distros come with a free version of Java that won't work with CrushFTP. Make sure its an official Sun java, or other suitable JVM.

To run Java, you may need to specify the full path to the java binary. Something possibly like /usr/java/jre1.5.0_11/bin/java. Its going to depend on where you installed it.

You can also install open java 13 as that works just fine as well.

Extract CrushFTP folder ideally into /var/opt/ so it's an easier approach if you have issues finding it over time.

There is a script provided to give you the basics of starting and stopping CrushFTP. It might be overkill for your situation, but you are welcome to use it and modify it for your needs. 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. Additionally, make a copy of the script file as CrushFTP updates will overwrite it.

__Install / Uninstall CrushFTP__
There is a script provided to give you the automated process supported on most Linux distro's of installing and uninstalling CrushFTP. The script is crushftp_init.sh.

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.
While you technically can do everything with CrushFTP from the command line and editing text XML files, its much easier to use a web browser to do this. You just need to have an admin user created first.

To make your user for doing this, use a command like this:
To make your user for doing this, use a command like this (avoid special characters in the comamnd line password creation):

java -jar CrushFTP.jar -a "remoteadmin" "mypassword"
java -jar CrushFTP.jar -a "crushadmin" "password"
At line 40 changed one line
{{''users/lookup_21/remoteadmin/''}} -- or -- {{''users/MainUsers/remoteadmin/''}}
{{''users/MainUsers/crushadmin/''}}
At line 42 changed one line
Since this is CrushFTP5, you will want to move this user to the proper location if it was generated to the 'lookup_21' folder:
You can now login to the administration console using a web browser. The default ports are:

{{''users/MainUsers/''}}
{{{http://your_ip:8080/
https://your_ip:443/}}}
At line 46 changed one line
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.

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.

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.

Provided a user named "remoteadmin" exist, and they have permission to execute that command, CrushFTP will terminate once the user logs out.

__Running as non-root (not recommanded)__
\\
\\
This method details how to run from rc.local on a systemd init based Linux flavor. Running as a non-root user won't allow binding to ports below 1024, will need to use NAT or port rewrite rules in iptables to be able to server on IANA defined well known ports.
Running crush in user mode as "crushftp" system user, by adding below lines into rc.local (generic method)
{{{
su - crushftp -c '/var/opt/CrushFTP10/crushftp_init.sh start'
exit 0
}}}
\\
This may be required in case daemon mode doesn't output to nohup.out, in this case modify the init script as
\\
{{{
$NOHUP $JAVA -Ddir=$CRUSH_DIR -Xmx384M -jar plugins/lib/CrushFTPJarProxy.jar -d 2>>nohup.out &
}}}
\\
\\
Running in user mode on systemd RHEL 7/8 family Linux
\\
First in crushftp_init.sh will need to set the user as "crushftp" ( or whatever non-root user) then allow rc-local.service to be able to run ( needed for compatibility mode, non root user)
\\
{{{
touch /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service
vi /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service
}}}
\\
paste into below
\\
{{{
[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
ConditionPathExists=/etc/rc.local
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start
TimeoutSec=0
StandardOutput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes
SysVStartPriority=99
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
}}}
\\
then edit /etc/rc.local
\\
{{{
vi /etc/rc.local
}}}
\\
add in
\\
{{{
su crushftp /var/opt/CrushFTP10/crushftp_init.sh start
exit 0
}}}
\\
then make it executable
\\
{{{
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
}}}
\\
then install the rc.local service
\\
{{{
systemctl enable rc-local.service
}}}
\\
reboot, check if OK
\\
\\
\\
Obsolete system V init method
\\
\\
create new scriptfile
\\
{{{

add this script to /etc/init.d/crushftp
