How to Use an FTP Client with Your SCUM Server

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

FTP gives you direct file access to your SCUM server, letting you upload configs, download backups, or edit files outside the game panel. This guide uses FileZilla, a free FTP client.

If you need to reset your server files entirely, see how to reinstall your SCUM server.

Download FileZilla

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

Find your FTP credentials

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your SCUM server.
  2. Near the middle of the screen, locate the FTP Info section. It shows the FTP host and port in the format 167.114.172.201:8821.

Before you start: If the panel shows SFTP Info instead of FTP Info, add sftp:// before the IP address when entering it in FileZilla. Example: sftp://167.114.172.201:8821

Connect with FileZilla

  1. Open FileZilla.
  2. Paste the FTP host and port from the game panel into the Host field in FileZilla.
  3. Enter your game panel username and password into the Username and Password fields.
