[[JOSMImage(preferences/remotecontrol,middle,nolink)]] **Settings for the remote control feature**

Remote Control allows JOSM to be controlled from other applications, e.g. from a web browser, by opening a listening TCP port (8111) on localhost where it accepts commands.[[BR]]
From JOSM version 6941 through 15469 it was also listening for HTTPS on port 8112.[[BR]]
**Note**: Due to security reasons the Remote Control is disabled in the default settings and has to be enabled manually.

If you access the a website via HTTPS and use the Remote Control it will also use HTTPS to control your JOSM. If it does not work, note that your browser, security addons/plugins and firewalls may block this access (you may be able to whitelist/allow it inside these tools) – check your logs. In addition you may need to tell your browser to accept the self-signed JOSM HTTPS certificate. More details on some of these issues: [https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/2208/how-do-i-enable-the-remote-control-in-josm How do I enable the "remote control" in JOSM?] (on the OSM help site).
