SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) allows you to securely upload, download, and manage files on your game server. While our built-in File Manager is great for quick edits, WinSCP is recommended for handling larger files or folders.
Prerequisites
- Download and install WinSCP from the official website.
- Your ValueGameNode Panel password.
Step 1: Locate SFTP Settings
- Log in to your ValueGameNode Game Panel.
- Select the server you wish to manage.
- On the left-hand sidebar, click on Settings.
Step 2: Launch SFTP
In the Settings view, you will see a section labeled SFTP Details.
- Click the Launch SFTP button.
- If prompted by your browser, allow it to open WinSCP.
- WinSCP will open automatically with the Connection Address and Username already filled in.
Step 3: Authentication
- A password prompt will appear in WinSCP.
- Enter your ValueGameNode Panel password (the same one you use to log in to the web panel).
- Click OK.
Manual Connection (Alternative)
If the "Launch SFTP" button does not work, you can enter the details manually in WinSCP:
- File Protocol: SFTP
- Host name: (Copy the "Connection Address" from the Settings page)
- User name: (Copy the "Username" from the Settings page)
- Password: Your panel password.
You are now connected! You can now drag and drop files between your computer and your server.
