# Controlling and querying btcd via btcctl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
btcctl is a command line utility that can be used to both control and query btcd
|
||
|
|
via [RPC](http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_procedure_call). btcd does
|
||
|
|
**not** enable its RPC server by default; You must configure at minimum both an
|
||
|
|
RPC username and password or both an RPC limited username and password:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* btcd.conf configuration file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
[Application Options]
|
||
|
|
rpcuser=myuser
|
||
|
|
rpcpass=SomeDecentp4ssw0rd
|
||
|
|
rpclimituser=mylimituser
|
||
|
|
rpclimitpass=Limitedp4ssw0rd
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* btcctl.conf configuration file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
[Application Options]
|
||
|
|
rpcuser=myuser
|
||
|
|
rpcpass=SomeDecentp4ssw0rd
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
[Application Options]
|
||
|
|
rpclimituser=mylimituser
|
||
|
