HOW TO EDIT MINECRAFT SERVER FILES



The web-based FTP client lets you manage your Minecraft server files with ease from the panel. To access your Minecraft server files using the web client, go to FTP File Access and log in using your panel password. Once authenticated, you will be directed to the home directory on your server.



Navigating Server Files



Navigating through your server files is a lot like how you would do it on your personal desktop. In the middle is the directory structure. We can navigate to, select and edit our files from here. Click the appropriate folder to open it and browse its contents. To edit a file, we click Edit and to download we click the actual name of the file.



On top of the page are options for managing the files you've chosen. After you have selected the items checked, you can issue actions to them like:



Move Files another directory using your server. Remove - Permanently erase selected Minecraft Servers .


Copy - Make copies of the selected files.


Rename - Rename selected files.


Download Select files to download to an archive format.


Zip - Archive selected files and save them to the server.


Unzip - Copy the contents of an archive into the directory you're currently in.


Edit - Edit the respective file with the built-in text editor.




Making New Folder and Files



You can create new folders or files directly from your control panel by selecting the New Dir or New File Upload option located on the left-hand side menu.



New Dir - Create a new directory (or folder)


New File - Create new plain text files.


Upload - Upload a set of files or an archive.




You can only upload one file using the Upload option. You cannot upload entire folders. If you're looking to upload a complete folder, you'll have to upload it as an archive file, and then make use of the unzip option in order to extract its contents onto the server.



Limitations



The web-based FTP client is quick and easy to edit server files and uploads. However, it has its limitations. When you commit changes to your server files or uploading files it is using the panel's web page as an intermediary to the file exchange. What this means is that you are limited to how much you can upload in a single session. This limit is 50mb. Any upload or commit of files larger than this will need to be performed using an alternative FTP client like Filezilla. Third-party FTP clients like Filezilla don't have any limitations on file size, since they connect directly to your server's files, not the web-based FTP client.
