How to Upload Files to the Pterodactyl Game Panel

Uploading via the Panel (Small Files)

1. Log in to your Pterodactyl panel
2. Select the server you want to upload files to
3. Navigate to the Files tab
4. Navigate to the directory where you want to upload
5. Click the Upload button at the top right, or drag and drop files
6. Wait for the upload to complete

Tips:

• Right-click files to rename, delete, or download them
• You can download individual files but not folders. To download a folder, compress it first into a .tar.gz archive using the file manager

Uploading via SFTP (Large Files or Bulk Uploads)

For files larger than 100 MB or when uploading many files at once, use SFTP:

1. Install an SFTP client like FileZilla (free)
2. In your game panel, go to Settings and find your SFTP details
3. Connect using:
   • Host: Your panel SFTP address
   • Port: 2022 (SFTP default)
   • Username: Your panel username (shown in Settings → SFTP Details)
   • Password: Your panel password
4. Drag and drop files/folders from local to remote
5. Monitor the transfer progress

Tips

• Always use SFTP (not FTP) for secure transfers
• FileZilla supports bookmarks for quick access to frequently used servers
• Large uploads may take time depending on your internet speed
