Rust Server Settings

In order to change your description for your Rust server, you will need to change the serverauto.cfg file in your "server/experimental/cfg" folder inside your servers FTP directory. For instructions on FTP usage, please visit the FTP Access page. For a text editing program, we strongly recommend using Notepad++ found here.

  1. Access your server directory with an FTP editing client.
  2. Navigate to the "/server/experimental/cfg" folder.
  3. Locate the file "serverauto.cfg". If the serverauto.cfg is not there you will need to make a new file and name it serverauto.cfg.
  4. Edit "serverauto"cfg" with Notepad++.
  5. Add a new line at the bottom of the "serverauto.cfg" file and put this: server.description "whatever you want the description to be".
  6. Replace the text between the quotes with the server description you want for your server.


Additionally, if you want a header image, you can add the line server.headerimage "url.jpg".
