Professional File Management with FileZilla

FileZilla is a high-performance, open-source SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) client that allows you to manage your server files with greater efficiency than a standard web browser. By using FileZilla, you can easily upload massive map files, download full server backups, and organize your directories through a familiar drag-and-drop interface.

Step 3: Transferring Files

Connection Speed

For transferring thousands of small files (like a Dynmap folder), we recommend zipping them first, uploading the single ZIP file, and then using the Game Panel’s File Manager to unarchive it.
