The web based FTP client allows you to manage your Minecraft server files with ease from your panel. To access your Minecraft server files using the web-based client, go to FTP File Access and log in using your panel password. Once authenticated you will be directed to the home directory on your server. Navigating Server Files Navigating through server files is similar to how you would do on your desktop. In the middle is the directory structure, we can navigate to, choose and edit our files from here. Click the appropriate folder to open it and browse its contents. To edit a file, click Edit. To download the file, click the actual name. Minecraft servers You'll find options to manage the files that you have selected at the top. After you have selected the items to be checked, you can issue actions to them, such as: Move Files - Move selected files to another directory on your server. Select files can be permanently deleted by deletion Copy - Make a copy of the files you have selected. Rename - Rename selected files. Download - Select files can be downloaded in an archive format. Zip - Archive files and save them to the server. Unzip - Extract the contents of the archive to the directory you're currently in. Edit using a text editor to edit the file. Creating New Folder and Files You can create new files or folders directly from your panel by using the New Dir option or the New File Upload option on the left side menu. New Dir - Create a brand new folder (directory). New File - Create a brand new plain text file. Upload - Upload a set of files or an archive. You can only upload single files using the Upload option. You can't upload entire folders. If you wish to upload a complete folder, you'll need to upload it as an archive file then use the unzip option to extract its contents onto your server. Limitations While the web based FTP client is convenient and quick for simple uploads and editing of servers however, it has its limitations. When committing changes to your server files or uploading files, you are using the web page of the panel as an intermediary for exchange of files. This means that you are able to only upload a specific amount of files in one session. This limit is set at 50mb. Any upload or commit of files larger than this must be performed using a third party FTP client, such as Filezilla. Third-party clients like Filezilla don't have a limit on file size, as it connects directly with your server files instead of the web-based FTP client.
