Game servers

Upload resources

Resources, maps and anything else your server runs go in its folder. For anything large, use SFTP: it has no 50 MB limit and is quicker for a big pack. The Files tab is for small uploads and quick edits.

Where things go #

Path What it is
resources/ Your resources. Each resource is one folder in here
server.cfg The server's settings, including sv_licenseKey
txData/ txAdmin's data: its admins, settings and logs

Your SFTP login #

Everything is under Login details:

Login details What to type in your app
SFTP host Host
SFTP port Port (2022)
SFTP user User name
SFTP password Password

The protocol is SFTP, not FTP, and the port is 2022, not 22. The first time you connect, your app asks whether to trust the server's key: accept it.

WinSCP #

  1. Open WinSCP. In the Login window choose New Site.
  2. File protocol: SFTP.
  3. Host name: the SFTP host. Port number: 2022.
  4. User name and Password: the SFTP user and password.
  5. Press Login. Your server's folder is on the right; drag files across from the left.

FileZilla #

  1. Open FileZilla, then File > Site Manager > New site.
  2. Protocol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol.
  3. Host: the SFTP host. Port: 2022.
  4. Logon Type: Normal. User and Password: the SFTP user and password.
  5. Press Connect. Your server's folder is on the right; drag files across from the left.

A new SFTP password #

Reset SFTP password under Login details makes a new random password and shows it there. It asks for your account password (and your two-factor code if you use one). Nothing on the server changes and it keeps running; only your SFTP app needs the new password.

The Files tab #

Press Upload, or drop files on the list. You can make folders, rename, move, delete and download from the same tab, and open a text file such as server.cfg in the editor. A zip can be unzipped where it is.

One upload Up to 50 MB
Uploads at once Two per account
Editor Text files up to 1 MB
Total storage Your plan's figure

Tip

Make a backup before replacing files you might want back.
