1. Log in to the game panel.
2. Navigate to your server’s dashboard.
3. Go to "Administration > File Management".

The file manager supports both the "Upload" button and drag-and-drop functionality for transferring files. Drag a file from your computer into the window to upload it easily.

2. Transfer Files with SFTP for Maximum Control

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure and efficient way to upload multiple files and folders simultaneously. Here’s how to connect to your Minecraft server via SFTP:

1. Download and install an SFTP client like FileZilla.
2. Log in to the game panel and go to your server’s dashboard.
3. Click on "System > SFTP Details".

The SFTP details page provides all the information you need to connect. Follow these steps in your SFTP program:

1. Copy the "Connection Address" and paste it into the "Host" field.
2. Enter your username and password from the SFTP details page.
3. Click "Connect". When prompted to trust the unknown certificate, click "Yes".

Once connected, you’ll see your local files on the left and the server files on the right. To upload files or folders, drag them from the left pane to the right pane.
