How to Connect to Your Satisfactory Server via FTP

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

An FTP client lets you browse, upload, and download files on your Satisfactory server directly from your computer. This guide uses FileZilla, though any FTP client will work.

Download FileZilla from filezilla-project.org if you do not already have it installed.

Connect with 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 dashboard. Copy the FTP IP and port. It will look similar to 167.114.172.201:8821. Paste this into the Host field in FileZilla.

    Note: If the panel shows SFTP Info instead of FTP Info, prefix the address with sftp://, for example: sftp://167.114.172.201:8821.

  4. The port will adjust automatically to the correct value if you paste the full FTP Info string from the panel.
  5. Click Quickconnect to connect to your server.

You can now browse your server files. To edit server configuration files, navigate to /FactoryGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer. For details on which files to edit, see how to edit server settings.
