How to Connect to Your Vein Server via FTP

Published 9 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Using an FTP client gives you direct access to your Vein server's file system, making it easy to upload custom files, download backups, or edit configuration files. This guide uses FileZilla, a free FTP client.

You can download FileZilla at https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1.

Once connected, you can edit your Game.ini or Engine.ini files directly. See editing server settings for details on what to change.

Connect with FileZilla

  1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Find the FTP Info section near the middle of the screen. 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 game panel username and password into the Username and Password fields in FileZilla.

  4. The port will adjust automatically if you paste the full <IP>:<PORT> string from the panel.
  5. Click Quickconnect to connect.

Before you start: If the panel shows SFTP Info instead of FTP Info, add sftp:// in front of the IP address in FileZilla's Host field, 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 credentials from the game panel. Your FTP password matches your game panel password and can be changed from within the panel.
