What is it used for?

FTP is used for accessing your server files directly. This is useful in many cases. Intended for advanced users, you can change settings, create local backups and add mod files manually to the server. This is mostly used for games like Minecraft and Arma.

How to connect to your Server via FTP

• When using the FTP you are accessing your server files directly. Typically, this is done through a third party client such as FileZilla or WinSCP . We choose FileZilla because it is easy to use. You can find a download for FileZilla: Here
• Once you have the client version installed you will need your server FTP credentials in order to log in.
• You can find your FTP credentials by navigating to your web interface and scrolling to the bottom of your dashboard.

• Now you can copy the credentials with the small icon into your clipboard and paste them into FileZilla.

• Once inside, you will notice It looks a lot like a file browser. Similar, but different, in the FTP you have more power. You can change, delete, or add files and folders. Sometimes you may be asked if you want to trust a certificate from the server, in this case please confirm.

How to use Filezilla

The left column shows the local files and directories, i.e. the files and directories on the computer where you use FileZilla.

The right column shows the files and directories on the server to which you are connected.

Both columns have a directory tree at the top and a detailed listing of the contents of the currently selected directory at the bottom. You can easily navigate through the two trees and lists by clicking around like in any other file manager.
