SFTP Transfer
In this guide, we will show how to use SFTP with UltraServers. A way to securely upload large or multiple files without the use of the panel.
Access your Server
- Login to the panel, Access the Panel see for instructions.
- Access the sever you wish to manage.
Navigate to Settings
- Click the 1 Settings tab.
- Click the 2 Launch SFTP button to see if the SFTP client launches pre-filled with your connection details.
- 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
- Open your SFTP client of choice. For example, WinSCP, FileZilla, or some other client.
- Open the Site Manager to save your connection.
- Copy the Server Address (IP only) from your panel and paste it into the 1
Hostnamefield. - Paste the Port in the
Port numberfield. - Copy your Username from your panel and paste it into the 2
Usernamefield. - Enter your password in the 3
Passwordfield. - Next, click the Save button.
- Name your connection in the 4
Site namefield. - Optionally, checkmark 5
Save password. - Click the 6 OK button to save your connection details in the Site Manager.
- 1 You will now see your SFTP connection to your UltraServers game server as an entry in the Site Manager.
- 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 Archive and Unarchive Files.
