File manager for game servers
In the customer portal, you manage the data folder of your game server directly in the browser, for all games. It contains worlds, mods, plugins, configuration files and log files.
Features per tier
| Feature | Flex S | from Flex M |
|---|---|---|
| Viewing files and folders | yes | yes |
| Downloading | yes | yes |
| Editing text files (up to 1 MB) | – | yes |
| Uploading (up to 64 MB per file) | – | yes |
| Creating folders, renaming, moving and deleting | – | yes |
Archives are not extracted, so upload files in extracted form or use SFTP access from Flex M. File permissions cannot be changed.
Opening the file manager
- Log in to the customer portal and open your game server.
- In the card „Dateien“ (Files), select the button „Dateimanager öffnen“ (Open file manager).
- Open the folder you need and select the action on the file.
Protected files
Some files and folders are read-only:
- The folders
sicherungenandarchivwith your backups and stored saves. - Configuration files that you manage in the customer portal, for example
server.propertiesfor Minecraft, the.inifiles in the folderServerfor Project Zomboid,serverconfig.txtfor Terraria andcluster.inifor Don't Starve Together, as well as the player lists.
You change these values in the settings of the customer portal. Server credentials such as the RCON password are not visible in the file manager.
Backing up before major changes
Before deleting or replacing world and mod files, create a backup in the card „Sicherungen“ (Backups) with „Jetzt sichern“ (Back up now). Backups can be restored at any time, as described in Creating, downloading and restoring backups.
Access for additional users
For access for additional users, you grant viewing and downloading separately from editing. This way, a person can read logs, for example, without being allowed to change files.
Frequently asked questions
- Why can I not change a file?
- Either your tier only includes viewing and downloading (Flex S), or the file is one of the protected files. You change configuration files in the customer portal in the card „Einstellungen“ (Settings).
- How do I transfer files larger than 64 MB?
- Via SFTP access, from Flex M.
- Can I extract a ZIP archive?
- No, the file manager does not extract archives. Upload the extracted files.
- When does a changed file take effect?
- The file is saved immediately. The server reads most settings at startup, so restart it after a change.
