Connect to your game server
Your server's address is shown in the client area as soon as it is built. You don't need to open any ports: they are opened for you.
- Open the client area. Log in and go to Client area. Your game server is listed under Servers.
- Copy the address. The server card shows Connect: with the address and port. Press Copy next to it.
- Join from the game. Paste the address into the game's direct connect or server browser.
- Check it is running. The card shows whether the server is running. Use Start or Restart there if it isn't.
Files over SFTP
The same card shows an SFTP address, port and username (your IronVault username plus your server's id). Log in with that username and your IronVault password, using any SFTP client such as WinSCP or FileZilla. SFTP works from anywhere, so you can upload worlds, mods and plugins straight from your own computer.
The full game panel
Open full panel signs you in to the game panel automatically. Your panel password is your IronVault password.
Questions
My friends can't connect. What should I check?
Make sure the server shows as running and that they use the exact address and port from the client area. If it still fails, open a Game server ticket and tell us the error they see.
