On a fresh FS installation fs_cli only connects to 127.0.01 localhost. To connect from a remote machine put a valid routable interface address (although I have 0.0.0.0 in mine) in conf/autoload_configs/event_socket.conf.xml and change the password and maybe even the port depending on the crackability of your network. Then you’ll probably want to configure a profile configuration file with tight permissions to avoid having to type the parameters on the command line every time you start fs_cli. Check the ‘command-line Interface fs_cli’ Confluence page for all the details.

Any ideas? Thanks Richard
