How To Edit Minecraft Server Files

The web based FTP client enables you to manage your Minecraft server files with relative ease from your panel. To access your Minecraft server files using the web client, navigate to FTP File Access and log in using your panel password. After authentication, you'll be directed directly to your home directory.

Navigating Your Server Files

Navigating through server files is similar to what you would do on your desktop. In the center is the directory structure, we can navigate to, select and edit our files from this location. To see the contents of the folder, click on it. To edit the file, click Edit. To download the file simply click the name.

Along the top are options for managing the specific files you've chosen. After you have selected the items checked, you can issue actions to them such as:

Move Select files to move them into another directory on your server. Select files can be permanently deleted by deletion

Copy - Create an image of the selected files.

Rename - Rename select files

Download - Download selected files into an archive format.

Zip - Archive files and save them to the server.

Unzip - Extract the contents of the archive to the directory that you're currently in.

Edit - Edit the respective file using the built-in text editor.

Creating New Folder and Files

You can create new folders or files directly from your control panel by using the New Dir, New File, or Upload option in the left side menu.

New Dir - Create a new directory (or folder)

New File - Create a brand new plain text file.

Upload - Upload a group of files or archive.

You can only upload one file using the Upload option. You can't upload entire folders. Uploading an entire folder will require you to first archive it and then use the unzip option.

Limitations

While the web based FTP client is convenient and quick for simple server edits and uploads however, it has its limitations. When making changes to your server files or uploading files it is using the panels web page as an intermediary to the exchange of files. This means that you are limited in how you can upload in one session. The limit is 50mb. top top blog or file commit that is greater than this limit must be done with a third party FTP client like Filezilla. Third-party clients such as Filezilla don't have any limitations on file size, as they directly connect to your server's files, not the web-based FTP client.
