Connect to Your Empyrion Server via FTP

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

FTP access lets you upload, download, and manage your server files directly from your PC. This guide uses FileZilla, a free FTP client, to connect to your Host Havoc Empyrion server.

Install FileZilla

Download and install FileZilla from filezilla-project.org.

Find your FTP credentials

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Locate the FTP Info section near the middle of the page. It displays your FTP host and port in the format <IP>:<PORT>, for example 167.114.172.201:8821.
    FTP Info section in the Host Havoc Game Control Panel showing the host and port

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

Connect with FileZilla

  1. Open FileZilla.
  2. Paste the full FTP Info value (for example 167.114.172.201:8821) into the Host field. FileZilla will extract the port automatically.
  3. Enter your control panel username in the Username field.
  4. Enter your control panel password in the Password field.
    FileZilla quickconnect bar with username and password fields filled in
  5. Click Quickconnect.

You are now connected. Your server files appear in the right pane of FileZilla.

Troubleshooting

  • If the connection is refused, confirm the port from the FTP Info panel section is correct.
  • If you need to manage your server configuration remotely, the Empyrion Admin Helper also uses your FTP credentials.
