The console and file manager

Running commands, editing files, and uploading your own.

Everything is managed from your server's page here on the site. There is no second control panel to log into and no separate password to remember.

The console

The console shows exactly what your server is printing, live, and you can type commands into it as though you were sitting at the machine.

Useful Minecraft examples:

op YourName
whitelist add YourFriend
say Server restarting in 5 minutes
stop

The Start, Restart and Stop buttons do what they say. Prefer stop or the Stop button over pulling the plug — games save on shutdown, and killing them can lose recent progress.

If the console is empty, the server is probably not running. Press Start.

Files

The Files tab is a real file manager: browse folders, open text files, edit and save them, upload your own, and delete what you do not need.

Common things people edit:

server.properties — Minecraft settings, though the Settings tab is safer
whitelist.json, ops.json — Minecraft access lists
mods/ or plugins/ — where add-ons live

Uploading

Use the upload button in the Files tab. Uploads go straight to your server, not through a copy on our side.

Most files only take effect at startup. After uploading a mod, a world, or a config file, restart the server.

World files

To bring an existing world with you, upload it into the right folder and restart:

Game	Where the world lives
Minecraft	`world/` in the server root
Terraria	`.local/share/Terraria/Worlds/`
Valheim	`.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local/`

Stop the server before replacing a world it is currently using, or it will save over your upload on the way out.
