Managing Files (SFTP)

You have two ways to manage your server's files: the built-in web file manager, and SFTP.

1. Web File Manager

The built-in File Manager is perfect for quick config edits. It features a built-in syntax-highlighting code editor.

Creating Archives: Select multiple files/folders and click "Archive" to zip them up. Great for taking quick manual backups.
Unarchiving: Upload a .zip or .tar.gz file, click the three dots next to it, and select "Unarchive".

2. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)

For uploading massive files like custom modpacks, large world folders, or downloading backups to your PC, you must use SFTP. The web uploader has limits and may timeout on huge files.

Finding Your SFTP Details

Navigate to the Settings tab in the Game Panel to find your SFTP address (e.g., sftp://sftp.monsternode.io:2022) and username. Your SFTP password is the exact same password you use to log into the Game Panel.
