Upload a world or save
You can bring a world from your own PC or from another host. Back up first, stop the server, upload, then start it again.
- Make a backup. On the server card press Backups, then Create a backup now, so you can go back if something goes wrong.
- Stop the server. Press Stop on the server card. Uploading over a running world can corrupt it.
- Upload the files. Use Files (the panel's file manager) for small uploads, or SFTP for big worlds. Put the world where the game expects it, replacing the old folder.
- Point the server at it. Some games need the world name set. Check Game tools → Settings and Config files.
- Start and test. Start the server and join to check the world loaded.
