How to Use an FTP Client with Your V Rising Server

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

An FTP client lets you browse, upload, and download files on your V Rising server from your computer. Host Havoc recommends FileZilla.

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

Connect FileZilla to your server

  1. Log into the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Locate the FTP Info section near the middle of the server overview. Copy the FTP address (format <IP>:<PORT>, for example 167.114.172.201:8821).
  3. Paste the address into the Host field in FileZilla.
    FTP IP and port entered in the FileZilla Host field
  4. Enter your control panel username and password into the Username and Password fields.
    Control panel username and password entered in FileZilla
  5. The port adjusts automatically when you paste the full address. Leave it as-is.
  6. Click Quickconnect.

SFTP note: 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.

Change your FTP password

Your FTP password is the same as your game panel password. Change it from within the panel's account settings.

Troubleshooting

Connection refused - Confirm you copied the full <IP>:<PORT> string including the port. Connecting without the port defaults to port 21 and will fail.

Authentication failed - Re-enter your panel username and password. If you recently changed your password, update it in FileZilla as well.

Once connected via FTP, you can upload save files as described in import save game or upload mod files as described in install mods.
