Importer
Here you will learn how to use our server importer to import your server from elsewhere into our system.
What is the Server Importer?
The Server Importer is a tool that allows you to easily transfer your existing game server from another hosting provider to TallDwarf Hosting. This tool simplifies the migration process by automating the transfer of your server files and configurations.
Note
You can use the importer to import files form anywhere that supports SFTP/FTP file transfers, even another one of our servers!
To see how to connect to your server using SFTP, refer to our SFTP Access guide.
Using the Server Importer
You can find the server importer in the "Settings" section of your game panel under the "Server Importer" section.
Steps to Import Your Server
Navigate to the "Settings" section in your game panel.
Find the section labelled Server Importer, and click the "Import Server" button.
Enter the SFTP/FTP details of your existing server, including hostname, port, username, and password.
Specify the directory path where your server files are located on the existing server.
Click the Start Import button to begin the transfer process.
Warning
You will not be able to access your server while the import is in progress. Depending on the size of your server files, this process may take some time.
