How to Use an FTP Client With Your Mordhau Server

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

FTP gives you direct access to your Mordhau server's file system so you can upload configs, download backups, and manage files outside of the Game Control Panel. This guide uses FileZilla, a free FTP client, but the same credentials work with any FTP application.

Download FileZilla from: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1

Connect using FileZilla

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Locate the FTP Info section near the middle of the page. Copy the FTP IP and port (for example, 167.114.172.201:8821) and paste it into the Host field in FileZilla. It should look similar to the example below.

  3. Enter your Game Control Panel username and password into the Username and Password fields in FileZilla. Your password can be changed from within the panel if needed.

  4. The Port field will adjust automatically when you paste the full host:port string from step 2.
  5. Click Quickconnect to establish the connection.

Before you start: If the panel shows SFTP Info instead of FTP Info, prefix the host with sftp://, for example sftp://167.114.172.201:8821.

Troubleshooting

  • If the connection is refused, confirm that your server is running and that you are using the correct port from FTP Info.
  • If you cannot remember your password, you can reset it from within the Game Control Panel before connecting.
  • For help with configuration files after connecting, see the tick rate guide for an example of files you may want to edit.
