Pull a file from a URL
Import a file into Victus Drive directly from a remote URL so it downloads server-side instead of routing through your own connection.
When the file you want already lives at a public URL — a release archive, a dataset, a mod pack — you do not have to download it to your PC and re-upload it. Victus Drive can fetch the file server-side, which is faster and avoids using your own upload bandwidth or a slow home connection.
Import a URL in Drive
- Sign in at https://drive.victuscloud.com and open the destination folder.
- Open the "+ New" menu on the file list.
- Choose the option to add a file from a link / remote URL and paste the full https:// address.
- Confirm. The server downloads the file into the current folder in the background; it appears when the fetch finishes.
Paste a link that returns the actual file, not a preview or "share" landing page. If a service hides the file behind a login or a click-through page, the fetched file will be an HTML page instead of your data.
Pulling files onto a server or VPS instead
If the destination is a game server or VPS rather than Drive, pull the file there directly. Game/app servers on the control panel have a Files tab with a "Pull remote file" (import from URL) action, and a VPS gives you a shell where you can use standard tools.
# On a Victus VPS (SSH as root) or app-hosting shell:
wget https://example.com/path/to/file.zip
# or, to save under a specific name:
curl -L -o release.tar.gz https://example.com/downloads/release.tar.gzA file fetched from a URL into Drive uses the same 10 GB storage quota as a manual upload. On a game server or VPS it consumes that instance’s disk allocation instead. Check available space before pulling large archives.
