SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) allows you to manage your server files, upload large worlds, and edit configurations more efficiently than the web-based file manager.

1. Locate your SFTP Details

Log in to your Game Panel and select the server you want to manage. On the left-hand sidebar, click on the Settings tab.

You will see a section titled SFTP Details. Here you will find your Connection Address (Host) and your Username.
SFTP Settings Tab

2. Choose your SFTP Tool

You can use any standard SFTP client. We recommend:

  • FileZilla: Best for beginners (Windows, Mac, Linux).
  • WinSCP: Powerful tool specifically for Windows users.
  • Cyberduck: Great interface for Mac users.

3. Connect to your Server

Open your chosen tool and enter the details found in your Settings tab:

  • Host: The full Connection Address (e.g., sftp://node1.aven.host:2022)
  • Username: Your panel username (usually ends in .xxxxxx)
  • Password: The same password you use to log in to the Avenhost Game Panel.
  • Port: 2022 (Standard for Pterodactyl panels)

4. Managing Files

Once connected, you will see your server's root directory. You can now drag and drop files from your computer directly into the /home/container folder to upload them.

Security Note: If you have 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) enabled, some SFTP clients may require you to append your 6-digit code to your password or use an App Password if supported.

Common Issues

Connection Timed Out: Ensure you are using Port 2022 and that your local firewall isn't blocking outgoing connections on that port.
