How to Connect to Your Terraria Server via FTP

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

FTP lets you upload, download, and manage files on your Terraria server directly from your computer. Host Havoc recommends FileZilla as your FTP client.

Connect with FileZilla

  1. Log into 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.

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

  4. The port adjusts automatically when you paste the full FTP Info value.
  5. Click Quickconnect to connect.

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

Troubleshooting

If the connection is refused, confirm the server is running and that you are using the credentials shown in the panel. You can reset your control panel password from within the panel if needed. For editing configuration settings without FTP, see Edit Your Configuration File.
