How to connect to your server with SFTP

SFTP lets you move files between your computer and your server with a desktop app. It is the best way to upload big worlds, modpacks or many files at once, and the way to move any file larger than 1 GB, because the Game Panel's Files tab only uploads files up to 1 GB. You need three things from the panel: the address, your username and your Game Panel password.

Step 1: Find your SFTP details

1. Log in to panel.endercloud.in and click Manage server.

2. On the Dashboard (or in Settings), find the SFTP Details box. It shows the Server Address, your Username and a Launch SFTP button.

3. Note the Server Address, for example sftp://in6.endercloud.in:2022. The host is the part in the middle (in6.endercloud.in) and the port is 2022.

4. Note the Username. It looks like yourpanelname.abc12345: your panel username, a dot, then the server ID.

As the panel says, your SFTP password is the same password you use to access the Game Panel. If you always use Auto Login to Panel from billing and don't know your panel password, create one with Generate New Password on your service page in billing, or use Forgot password? on the panel login page (see How to log in to the Game Panel).

Connect with FileZilla (Windows, Mac, Linux)

1. Install FileZilla Client from the official website, filezilla-project.org.

2. Open File → Site Manager and click New site.

3. Set Protocol to SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol.

4. Host: your node host only, for example in6.endercloud.in (without sftp:// and without :2022).

5. Port: 2022.

6. Logon Type: Normal. Enter your full SFTP username and your Game Panel password.

7. Click Connect. The first time, FileZilla asks you to trust the server's host key. Tick the box to always trust it and click OK.

Your server files appear on the right. Drag files from the left (your computer) to the right to upload, or the other way to download.

Connect with WinSCP (Windows)

1. Install WinSCP from winscp.net and open it. The Login window appears.

2. File protocol: SFTP.

3. Host name: for example in6.endercloud.in. Port number: 2022.

4. Enter your User name and Password, then click Login.

5. Accept the host key warning the first time you connect.

The Launch SFTP button

The Launch SFTP button in the SFTP Details box opens an sftp:// link with your address and username filled in. It only works if your computer has an app set up to open SFTP links (WinSCP can do this). If nothing happens when you click it, use the manual steps above.

Common errors

• Authentication failed / access denied: the password is wrong, or the username is incomplete. Copy the full username including the dot and server ID. If unsure, reset your Game Panel password and try again.

• Connection refused or timed out: you are probably using port 21 or 22. SFTP on Endercloud uses port 2022.

• Using FTP or FTPS: plain FTP is not supported. Choose SFTP as the protocol.

• Host not found: remove sftp:// and :2022 from the host box. The host and the port go in separate fields.

• Server address with a game port: the address players use (like in6.endercloud.in:45568) is for the game, not for SFTP. Use the SFTP address.

On a phone

Any app that supports SFTP will work, for example a file manager or SSH app with SFTP support. Enter the same host, port 2022, username and password. For small edits, the panel's file manager is usually easier on a phone.
