Published 9 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

An FTP client lets you transfer files between your PC and your Palworld server. This guide uses FileZilla, a free FTP client.

Download FileZilla from filezilla-project.org and install it before starting.

Get your FTP credentials

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Find the FTP Info section near the middle of the screen. It shows the FTP host and port in the format 167.114.172.201:8821.
    Game control panel FTP Info section showing the host IP and port
  3. Note your control panel username and password. These are your FTP credentials.

Note: If the panel shows SFTP Info instead of FTP Info, add sftp:// in front of the IP when entering it in FileZilla. For example: sftp://167.114.172.201:8821.

Connect with FileZilla

  1. Open FileZilla.
  2. In the Host field, paste the full IP:PORT string from FTP Info in the game panel.
  3. Enter your control panel username in the Username field.
  4. Enter your control panel password in the Password field.
    FileZilla quickconnect bar with control panel username and password filled in
  5. Leave the Port field blank. FileZilla will set the correct port automatically when you paste the host string.
  6. Click Quickconnect.

You are now connected and can browse, upload, and download your server files.

For common FTP tasks such as importing a save file or restoring character saves, stop your server before transferring files.
