## Uploading via the Panel (Small Files)

- Log in to your Pterodactyl panel
- Select the server you want to upload files to
- Navigate to the **Files** tab
- Navigate to the directory where you want to upload
- Click the **Upload** button at the top right, or drag and drop files
- Wait for the upload to complete

## Tips

- Create new directories with the **Create Directory** button
- Rename or delete files by right-clicking them
- You can download individual files but not folders. To download folders, compress them first into a archive

## Uploading via SFTP (Large Files and Folders)

For large files or entire folders, use an SFTP client like FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/).

## Steps

- Open FileZilla
- Connect to your server:

- **Host:** Your server's IP address
- **Port:** 2022 (SFTP default)
- **Username:** Your panel username (found in Settings → SFTP Details)
- **Password:** Your panel password

- Navigate to the target directory on the remote side
- Drag and drop files/folders from local to remote
- Monitor the transfer progress

## SFTP Tips

- Your SFTP credentials are shown in the panel under your server's **Settings** tab
- Use SFTP (not FTP) for secure transfers
- FileZilla supports bookmarks for quick access to frequently used servers
