How to Use an FTP Client with Your BeamMP Server

Published June 9, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

An FTP client lets you upload and manage files on your BeamMP server, including mods, custom maps, and configuration files. This guide uses FileZilla, a free FTP client.

Install FileZilla

Download FileZilla from filezilla-project.org and install it on your PC.

Find your FTP credentials

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to your BeamMP server.
  3. Locate the FTP Info section near the middle of the screen. It shows your FTP host and port in the format 167.114.172.201:8821.

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

Connect with FileZilla

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

  4. The port will adjust automatically when you paste the full host string.
  5. Click Quickconnect.

You are now connected to your server and can upload or download files. Use this to add mods or custom maps to ./Resources/Client/.

Troubleshooting

  • Connection refused. Verify the host and port match exactly what is shown in the control panel under FTP Info.
  • Authentication failed. Your FTP credentials are the same as your Game Control Panel username and password. Reset your password from within the panel if needed.
