The in-panel file manager
Open the Files tab on any game server. You can browse, edit, upload, download, rename and delete files, create ZIP archives, and extract archives (ZIP, TAR, GZ, RAR, 7z and more) without leaving your browser.
Common locations
Typical paths are below. They can differ depending on the game template and any mod loader you use.
| Game | Important paths |
|---|---|
| Minecraft (Java) | server.properties, plugins/, mods/, world/ |
| Rust | server/identity/cfg/, oxide/plugins/ |
| ARK | ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ |
| Valheim | worlds_local/, BepInEx/plugins/ |
Editing
Click Edit on any text file (.properties, .yml, .json, .cfg and similar) to open it in the editor. Ctrl + S or the Save button saves your changes.
Uploads
Click Upload Files or drag files onto the upload window. The limit is 100 MB per file. To upload a whole folder, put it in a ZIP, upload it, then use Extract Archive. For anything larger, use SFTP.
SFTP access
For larger transfers (whole worlds, many mods) SFTP is faster. Open the SFTP panel on the Files tab to see your connection details:
- Host — your server's IP address, as shown in the panel
- Port —
2022 - Username — shown in the panel (it is specific to this server)
- Password — a separate SFTP password, not your panel password. Create one on the Settings tab under SFTP Password with Generate New Password.
Recommended clients
- FileZilla — cross-platform, free, simple drag-and-drop.
- WinSCP — Windows, integrates with Explorer.
- Cyberduck — macOS and Windows.
- Command line —
sftp -P 2022 USERNAME@HOST
Always stop the server before replacing world files or large mod sets so the running game does not write over your changes.
