How To Connect Using SFTP to Game Servers

Using FTP, you can easily access and alter your server files quickly. You can use an FTP client such as Filezilla or WinSCP to fulfil this action. Filezilla and WinSCP are programs that allow you to edit your server files as if the files were on your PC.

Step 1: Installing an FTP Program


Firstly, you need an FTP program to connect with. We recommend Filezilla or WinSCP as they have the best features. WinSCP Download (Windows only) . Filezilla Download (Windows, Mac) . When downloading make sure you install the Client version, not the server version. Additionally, when installing them, ensure to decline any special offers or sponsored software.

Step 2: Obtaining your SFTP details


Before you can start using your FTP client, it needs to know where to find your server files. To get your server's FTP details simply follow these steps:
Login to the game panel .
Select the server you wish to access.
Navigate to 'System'.
Then, "SFTP Details".

Your SFTP password is your account password for the game panel.
