Upload and download files with FileZilla

Files, backups & automation · Updated 27 October 2026

FileZilla is perfect for files bigger than 1 GB, like large worlds, for moving lots of files at once, and for downloading your files to your computer.

1. Get your login details

  1. In your panel, open Settings. Under SFTP Details, you'll find your server address and your username.
  2. Your SFTP password is the same password you use to log in to the control panel.

2. Get FileZilla

Download it free from https://filezilla-project.org. Make sure you choose FileZilla Client, not FileZilla Server.

3. Connect

At the top of FileZilla, fill in:

  1. Host: your SFTP server address, starting with sftp://
  2. Username: your SFTP username
  3. Password: your control panel password
  4. Port: 2022

Then click Quickconnect.

4. Move your files

Once you're connected, the files on your computer are on the left, and the files on your server are on the right.

  • To upload, drag a file or folder from the left into the right.
  • To download, drag from the right into the left.

Good to know

  • Stop your server before replacing worlds or big folders.
  • Drag whole folders, not just single files.
  • Next time, the dropdown next to Quickconnect remembers your server.
