Upload files via SFTP
Connect to your Victus server with an SFTP client to upload worlds, plugins and modpacks fast — using the host, port and username from the panel.
The panel Files tab is fine for a handful of small files, but for a world, a full modpack, or hundreds of files, SFTP is much faster and more reliable. The connection details (host, port and username) are shown on the panel; your password is your Victus panel account password.
Find your SFTP details
- Open your server in control.victuscloud.com and go to the Settings tab (SFTP details are shown there).
- Note the SFTP host and port, and the username (it is usually in the form user.serverid).
- Your password is the same one you use to log in to the panel — there is no separate SFTP password.
Connect and upload
- Install an SFTP client such as FileZilla, WinSCP or Cyberduck.
- Create a new connection using protocol SFTP, then paste the host, port, username and your panel password.
- Connect — you will land in your server's file root (where server.properties lives).
- Drag files into place: worlds go in the server root, plugins into
plugins, mods intomods. - Stop the server before overwriting a live world, then Start again when the upload finishes.
Choose SFTP (SSH File Transfer) and the exact port shown in the panel — not standard FTP on port 21. Also confirm you selected SFTP as the protocol; using the wrong port/protocol is the most common connection failure.
Uploading or replacing world files while the server is running can corrupt them because the server is writing to the same files. Stop the server first, upload, then Start.
