- If the above step opened your SFTP client and automatically connected, you can skip the below Connect via SFTP section and jump down to .
Connect via SFTP

- Finally, click 2 Login / Connect / Quickconnect (depending on your client) to connect to your server via SFTP.
- Once connected, a two-pane file explorer will be made available. One side is your local storage, and the other is the storage of your UltraServers game server. See below for an example of how it looks in WinSCP.
Upload Files via SFTP
- Once you successfully connected to your server via your SFTP client, you will be presented with a two-pane file explorer. One side is your local storage, and the other is the storage of your UltraServers game server.
- To upload or download your files/folders, simply drag them from one pane to the other.
- The time it takes to upload depends on many factors, such as the upload speed size of the upload latency (distance between you and the server), and so on.
- Uploading a lot of small files can make the upload process take ages, so it is recommended to zip those files and then extract the archive when the upload has finished. For detailed instructions on how to compress and extract your files, see Compress and Extract Files.
