How to set up an FTP client to manage your Minecraft server's files

In this guide, we will walk you through using an external FTP service to manage your server files. While the built-in file manager is useful for quick edits, a dedicated FTP client is recommended for uploading large modpacks, worlds, or plugins.

Recommendation: We recommend using FileZilla. It is free, open-source, and compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Instructions for configuring your FTP client:

1. Log in to your Multicraft Panel: Navigate to your server's main dashboard.
2. Find your FTP Details: In the left-hand sidebar menu, click on Files and then select FTP File Access.
3. Copy Connection Info: On this page, you will see your FTP Address (Host), Port, and FTP Username.
   • Host: Copy the FTP Address (e.g., 123.456.78.9).
   • Username: This usually appears as your account name followed by a period and a number (e.g., yourusername.1234).
4. Enter Details into FileZilla:
   • Paste the FTP Address into the Host box.
   • Paste your FTP Username into the Username box.
   • Password: Use the same password you use to log in to the Multicraft panel.
   • Port: Use port 21 (unless your panel specifically lists a different port).

5. Connect: Click Quickconnect. If prompted about an "Unknown Certificate," check the box to always trust the certificate and click OK.

Once connected, your local computer files will appear on the left, and your server files will appear on the right. You can now drag and drop files to move them between your PC and the server.
