Connect server via SFTP or file manager

Manage your Minecraft server quickly and efficiently with PineRiver’s user-friendly tools. Whether you prefer the simple approach using the file manager in the game panel or the advanced flexibility of SFTP, we’ve got you covered. Follow this guide to learn how to easily access and manage your server files.

1. Manage Your Server with the File Manager

The file manager in the game panel is the easiest solution for making quick changes to your Minecraft server. Here you can create folders, edit the server’s configuration files, and upload files directly. Here’s how to use the file manager:

1. Log in to the game panel.
2. Go to your server’s dashboard.
3. Select "Administration > File Management".

The file manager supports both the “Upload” button and drag-and-drop functionality, making it easy to transfer files. Simply drag a file from your computer into the window to upload it.

2. Upload Files Quickly with SFTP

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure and efficient way to transfer large files and folders. Follow these steps to connect to your Minecraft server via SFTP:

1. Download and install an SFTP client such as FileZilla.
2. Log in to the game panel and go to your server’s dashboard.
3. Click "System > SFTP Details".

On the SFTP details page, you will find the information required to connect to the server. Follow these steps in your SFTP client:

1. Copy the “Connection Address” and paste it into the "Host" field.
2. Enter the username and password from the SFTP details page.
3. Click "Connect". If you are asked whether you trust the unknown certificate, click "Yes".

You will now see your local files on the left and the server files on the right in the SFTP client. To upload files or folders, simply drag them from the left side to the right side.
