#1: FILE MANAGER
STEP 1
From the front page of the game panel, select “File Management” from the left hand side menu, as seen below. And with that, you’re done. You’re now on your web SFTP client, which can move, upload and delete files under 100MB. If you need to work with files larger than 100MB you will need to use an SFTP client like Filezilla, which is detailed below.
#2: SFTP CLIENT [Filezilla]
STEP 1
Head over to “SFTP settings” on your game panel.
STEP 2
Copy and paste the “Connection address” into the “host” box on Filezilla, and the “Username” into the “Username” box. The “Password” box should be your game panel password and the “port” should be automatically inputted or if :2022 is removed without port then insert 2022. then click “Quickconnect“
Congrats! You’re now connected to your files with Filezilla!
