How To Edit Minecraft Server Files

The web based FTP client lets you manage your Minecraft server files with ease from the panel. To access your Minecraft server files using the web client, navigate to FTP File Access and log in using your panel password. Once authenticated, you'll be taken to the home directory on your server.

Navigating Server Files

Navigating through your server's files is a lot like how you would do it 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 it. To edit a file, we click Edit and to download we click the actual name of the file.

You will find options to manage the files you have checked at the top. While you have the selected items checked you can issue certain actions to them such as:

Move - Move selected files into another directory on your server. Select files can be permanently deleted by deleting

Copy - Create a copy of the files you have selected.

Rename - Rename selected files.

Download Select files to download into an archive format.

Zip - Archive selected files and save them onto the server.

Unzip - Extract the contents of an archive and save it to the directory that you are currently in.

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

Creating New Folder and Files

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

New Dir - Create new directory (or folder)

New File - Create a fresh plain text file.

Upload - Upload a set of files or an archive.

You can only upload single files using the Upload option. Cats You can't upload entire folders. If you're looking to upload an entire folder then you will need to upload it as an archive file, and then use the unzip option to extract its contents onto the server.

Limitations

The web-based FTP client is quick and easy to edit server files and uploads. However, it does have its limitations. When you commit changes to your server files or uploading files you are using the web page of the panel as an intermediary for exchange of files. What this means is that you are limited to how much you can upload in a single session. The limit is set at 50MB, any file commit or upload larger than this size will need to be done with a third Party FTP client, such as Filezilla. Third-party clients such as Filezilla don't have a limit on file size since they directly connect to your server files instead of the web-based FTP client.
