How to Connect to Your Dragonwilds Server via FTP

Updated June 10, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

FTP gives you direct access to your RuneScape: Dragonwilds server's file system, letting you upload, download, and manage files outside the in-panel File Manager. Host Havoc recommends FileZilla as your FTP client.

Once connected, you can upload backup archives or config files as described in Manage Backups.

Configure FileZilla

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Locate the FTP Info section near the middle of the server overview 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 field will populate automatically when you paste the full <IP>:<PORT> value into the Host field.
  5. Click Quickconnect.

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

Troubleshooting

  • Connection refused or timeout: Confirm you copied the full IP and port from the panel, including the port number.
  • Authentication failed: Your FTP password is the same as your game panel password. Reset it from within the panel if needed.
  • Cannot write to Backups folder: This folder is read-only via FTP. Upload files to the root directory and use File Manager to extract them.
