How To Use RCON On Your ARK: Survival Ascended Server

RCON lets you run admin commands on your ARK: Survival Ascended server without joining it, for example to save the world, message players or kick someone.

Running Commands From Bropanel

The Bropanel console already sends what you type to your server over RCON.

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Console.
  3. 3
    Type a command such as ListPlayers, SaveWorld or ServerChat Hello everyone and press Enter.

Commands that have nothing to report answer with Server received, But no response!!, which means the server ran them.

Connecting An RCON Tool

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    Copy the server IP address from the Overview page.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Settings. Under Advanced, note the RCON Port, and under Basic, the Admin Password.
  4. 4
    In your RCON tool, enter the server IP, the RCON Port and the Admin Password, then connect.

The RCON Port is set by the panel and can't be changed. To change the password, see Admin Access.
