FiveM server commands are typed in the server console: on FREAKHOSTING, open your server and use the command box on the Console page. The most used are ensure <resource> (start or restart a resource), refresh (find new resources), status (list players), clientkick <id> <reason> (kick a player) and add_ace / add_principal (permissions). They work while the server is running.

Where do I type FiveM server commands?

FiveM server console in the Game Panel with Announce, Refresh resources, Ensure resource and plus quick buttons above the live console, and Copy address, Players, CPU, Memory, Disk and Network cards on the right

The FiveM console with its quick buttons and command box

  • Game Panel console: click Console in the sidebar and type in the command box. Don’t type a / in front. See how to use the server console.
  • txAdmin: its Live Console runs the same commands. Click Open txAdmin next to your IP.
  • In-game: the F8 console on a player’s PC runs client commands, not server commands.

Resource commands

After uploading a resource, run refresh, then ensure <name>. The Refresh resources and Ensure resource quick buttons do the same.

Player commands

status and clientkick come from the rconlog resource, and say from the chat resource. If they don’t work, make sure those resources are started. For bans, use txAdmin, which keeps a ban list.

Permission commands (ace and principals)

Permissions typed in the console are lost at the next restart. To keep them, put the lines in server.cfg or a file you exec from it.

Settings (convars)

Some settings only work in server.cfg at start-up, for example sv_enforceGameBuild. On FREAKHOSTING, change those on the Server config page.

Useful one-off commands

To stop or restart the whole server, use the Stop and Restart buttons at the top of the page, or txAdmin. That way the panel and txAdmin both know what happened.

How to add your own console button

Commands you use often can get their own button above the console.

Add your own console button

2

Fill it in

Choose One command or Several commands. Give it a Name (up to 24 characters) and a Command (up to 200 characters), for example ensure [cars]. A semicolon is sent as a comma, so use Several commands to run more than one. Tick Ask before running it for anything that affects players.
3

Save

Click Add button. It is saved in this browser, for this server only.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FiveM command to restart a script?

ensure <name> or restart <name>, for example ensure qb-inventory. ensure also starts it if it isn’t running.

How do I see who is online?

Type status. It lists every player with their server ID, which you need for clientkick.

How do I ban a player from the console?

FXServer has no built-in ban command. Use txAdmin: open the player in txAdmin and choose ban, or use the in-game txAdmin menu with /tx.

Why does a command say it is unknown?

The resource that adds it isn’t started, or you typed a / in front. Server console commands have no slash.

Are server.cfg lines the same as console commands?

Yes. server.cfg is a list of console commands that run at start-up, which is why ensure, set and add_ace work in both.
