SFTP Access
How to connect to your server using an SFTP client.
What is SFTP?
SFTP is used to securely transfer files to and from your game server. This is most commonly used for uploading files over the 100MB limit in the file manager, or for bulk uploading multiple files and folders at once.
Connecting via SFTP
Prerequisites
Before you can connect to your server via SFTP, ensure you have the following:
- An SFTP client installed (e.g., FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck).
- Your server's SFTP credentials (hostname, port, username, and password). These can be found in your game panel under the "Settings" section.
Steps to Connect
Info
In this example we will be using FileZilla as our SFTP client, but the steps are similar for other clients.
Open your SFTP client.
Locate the top section where you can enter your connection details. (In FileZilla, this is called the "Quickconnect" bar.)
Enter your server's SFTP credentials:
- Host: Your server's IP address or hostname.
- Port: The SFTP port (default is usually 22, but check your panel for the correct port).
- Username: Your SFTP username (found in your game panel).
- Password: Your SFTP password (found in your game panel).
Your credentials should look something like this:
| Host | Port | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| sftp://node.talldwarfhosting.com | 2022 | user@example.com.12345 | ****** |
Click the Quickconnect button (or equivalent in your client).
Once connected, you should see your server's file structure on the right side of the client interface.
