How to Connect to Your Project Zomboid Server via FTP

Published 9 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

FTP access lets you upload, download, and manage files on your server directly. You will need FileZilla or another FTP client. Download FileZilla at filezilla-project.org. FTP access is required for tasks like adding workshop maps and uploading a save.

Configure FileZilla

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Near the middle of the screen, find the FTP Info section showing the FTP IP and port (for example, 167.114.172.201:8821).
  3. Copy and paste this value into the Host field in FileZilla. It should look similar to this:

    Before you start: If the panel shows SFTP Info instead of FTP Info, add sftp:// in front of the IP. For example: sftp://167.114.172.201:8821.

  4. Enter your control panel username and password into the Username and Password fields in FileZilla.

  5. The port adjusts automatically when you paste the full FTP Info value into the Host field.
  6. Click Quickconnect to connect to your server files.
