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.

__Start CrushFTP__
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|crushftp_init.sh]". 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.

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.

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 (avoid special characters in the comamnd line password creation):

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.

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 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.

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