How to Connect to Your Hytale Server via FTP

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

FTP access lets you upload, download, and manage files on your Hytale server directly from your computer. This is useful for uploading an existing world or installing mods manually.

This guide uses FileZilla, which you can download from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1.

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Locate 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.
    If the panel shows SFTP Info instead of FTP Info, prefix the address with sftp://, for example: sftp://167.114.172.201:8821.

  3. Enter your control panel username and password in the Username and Password fields in FileZilla. You can change your password from within the panel.

  4. The port will adjust automatically if you copied the full FTP Info string from the panel.
  5. Click Quickconnect to connect.

Once connected, you can browse your server files in the right-hand panel of FileZilla and drag files between your computer and the server.

Troubleshooting

  • Connection refused: Confirm the IP and port were copied correctly from the panel, including the colon separator.
  • Login failed: Verify your panel username and password. Reset your password in the game panel if needed.
  • SFTP vs FTP: If the panel shows SFTP Info, you must add the sftp:// prefix to the host field.
