Fully Restart An FTP Server?

[Lewis_Nixon]

Here is my question/situation.

My clan just started an CoD server which comes off of an FTP. And I have full FTP accsess to all the CoD folders (Including codmp.exe codsp.exe etc.) And I was wondering is there a program or some command line I can use to shut the mp.exe down and bring it back up to have a hard restart?

Please e-mail me at wsa_lewis_nixon@hotmail.com or reply here. If you have links please e-mail them to me, with subject CoD link. I would really appreciate any answers.

Thank you.

Not via FTP. Ask your game host provider to add this feature.

Well we have our own clan server, so we own it. But I just want to try to get a program which the other big game server sites use. Since then I dont want to bug him everytime I need to reset it.

We rent a Jolt server. When we got the server they pointed us to a program called 'putty'. PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, this requires input of our ftp/telnet username and password to access our server. Once in I issue a unix command kill -9 (to stop the server), then to restart it I type ./start_cod. This will be slightly different for you depending on your setup but thats how we do it.

Here is the link for Putty, it'll push you in the right direction hopefully....
