How to access your server files using FTP

Please note that this guide covers only FTP access for game servers hosted under our Game Panel (gamepanel.fragnet.net) which we plan on decomissioning in favor of our custom control panel Fragify

If you have a Farming Simulator 19 / 22 server, you can find the FTP guide here.

We provide full access to your server files for most games through the game panel's integrated file manager and the File transfer protocol (FTP). The integrated file manager is a lightweight solution for simple tasks such as file and folder deletions/renames and light file uploads. FTP is more suited for heavier tasks such as large file uploads (both in size and number) and moving files from one directory to another.

While we provide full access to server files for most games we are hosting, some games are limited or completely inaccessible via FTP or File Manager as per developer demands.

FTP connection details​

To access your server's FTP, you must input the Hostname or IP address, Port, Username and Password.

If your server is setup on gamepanel.fragnet.net, FTP details are the following:

Host : Your game server address  
**Warning** : Do not include the port after the IP address (I.E 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.1.1:25565)  
Username : Your game panel username  
Password : Your game panel password  
Port : Can be seen on the game panel

Uploading and downloading files or folders​

FTP is particularly useful for backing up your server files, or uploading plugins/worlds/settings onto your server.

Once connected to your FTP account, server files will be listed on the right side of the screen, whilst your computer's files will be listed on the left side.
You can upload, download, and move files from your computer to your server and vice versa, as well as within the server's folders.

Alternatively, you may right click on the relevant file or folder and hit the "Download" or "Upload" button.
