Connect in Seconds

  1. Open FileZilla and enter the host/IP from your subscription page, port 2121.
  2. Use the FTP username/password shown in the panel (works even if the server is offline).
  3. Save it as a Site Manager profile so uploads resume automatically.

Key Directories

  • /Mods/ – every mod folder lives here.
  • /Saves/ – worlds, players, backups of Level.sav.
  • /Data/Prefabs/ – POI packs for modded maps.
  • /logs/latest.log – live startup logs for debugging.
  • /serverconfig.xml – edit carefully; keep a copy before saving.

Reliable Upload Workflow

  1. Queue files on the left and drop them into the target folder on the right.
  2. Watch the Failed Transfers tab - large uploads often need one requeue.
  3. After everything is green, refresh the panel and restart the server.

Advanced Tricks

  • Use the compare directories feature in FileZilla to spot missing files.
  • Right-click → View/Edit to open configs locally; FileZilla auto-uploads the change on save.
  • Schedule regular downloads of /Backups/ to your PC for disaster recovery.
