rcons.exe - The Win32 Server Implementation
rcons.exe is the server side implementation of rcons. It is a Win32 executable.
A build of fshell puts rcons.exe into \epoc32\tools. No further installation is necessary.
The most significant aspect of the server's configuration is the TCP port number that it listens on for in-coming connections from console clients. This must match the client side configuration. It can be changed on the server side using the menu File | Preferences | Listen on port:. By default it is set to 8086.
Something else to bear in mind is that if you have a firewall running on the network interface between your PC and your Symbian OS device, that will need to allow incomming connections on the relevant TCP port through. Note though that mRouter (Symbian's PC connectivity transport) will happily forward connections to TCP servers running on the same PC as itself, so if you're using mRouter as your transport firewalls shouldn't be a problem.
