How to Connect to Your Space Engineers Server via FTP

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

FTP gives you direct access to your Space Engineers server files, which is useful for uploading worlds, custom configs, and plugin files. This guide uses FileZilla as the FTP client.

Download FileZilla from: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1

Once connected, you can upload worlds (see Upload an Existing World) or manage files directly.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Near the middle of the screen, locate the FTP Info section. Copy the FTP IP and port (for example, 167.114.172.201:8821) and paste it 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.

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