SFTP File Access
Connect with an SFTP client to upload, download, and edit server files.
Overview
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) lets you manage server files with desktop clients such as FileZilla, WinSCP, or Cyberduck. It is the recommended way to upload worlds, plugins, mods, and configuration files.
Finding SFTP credentials
In the game panel, open your server and go to the Settings tab. The SFTP section shows:
- Host / Address: the SFTP server hostname
- Port: usually
2022 - Username: your panel username combined with the server ID
- Password: use the same password as your panel login, or reset it from Account settings
Connecting with a client
- Open your SFTP client and create a new connection.
- Set the protocol to SFTP (not FTP).
- Enter the host, port, username, and password from the panel.
- Connect. Your server's file directory appears, typically starting at the root server folder.
Tips
- Stop the server before replacing large world files to avoid corruption.
- Do not delete core panel-managed files unless you know what they do.
- For quick single-file edits, you can also use the File Manager tab in the panel.
