How to Use FileZilla for FTP (SFTP File Management)

Learn how to use FileZilla to upload and manage large game servers.

The Wabbanode Control Panel can handle large servers very well, however sometimes you need that extra flexibility while managing lots of large files at the same time.

FileZilla is an FTP software that supports both the SFTP and FTP file transfer protocols to easily access and manage your game server files. When downloading or uploading large modpacks, worlds or database files, it's recommended to use FileZilla to do this.

Downloading FileZilla

  1. Download and Install the Download FileZilla for your operating system.
    • It's recommended to use the setup.exe file for ease of use, however this is not strictly required. FileZilla Download

Finding your SFTP Server Login Details

  1. Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and open your Files. Control Panel Files
  2. Press SFTP Details in the top right of your file browser. Control Panel SFTP Button
  3. Make note of the SFTP Host, SFTP Port and your Username from the page. These are your SFTP Server Login Details.
    • Your username is unique to each server you're part of, so keep this in mind if you're managing multiple servers.
