SFTP access gives you full control over server files:

  1. Get your SFTP credentials from the "Files" section of your server in the Unified Panel
  2. Download FileZilla or another SFTP client
  3. Create a new connection with:
    • Host: Shown in the panel
    • Port: Shown in the panel (SFTP)
    • Username: From panel
    • Password: From panel
  4. Connect and browse server files

Prefer the browser? The built-in File Manager covers most tasks — uploads, edits, and ZIP/TAR compression — without any extra software.

Common Files to Edit:

  • server.properties (Minecraft configuration)
  • server.cfg (Rust/CS:GO settings)
  • GameUserSettings.ini (ARK configuration)
  • Plugin/mod configuration files

Tip: Always backup files before editing. Stop the server when editing critical config files.
