How to configure network without using gui

Is there any way to configure the network without using the gui

I am running a raspberry pi headless as a music player and need to change the network config, but dont have easy access to a monitor

I havent been able to find any obvious network configuration files anywhere on the system

Any pointers gratefully received

The active config files are in /storage/.cache/connman but these need to be edited via "connmanctl" as connman directly manages the files. If you edit them by hand the changes won't take effect and are unlikely to persist over a reboot.

Well I can't find the files, in the .config folder no connman folder seems to exist there

but the manual pages for connmanctl make it clear how to do it, so thanks a lot

/storage/.cache not /storage/.config .. there will be subfolders for the connman service name and then a settings file
