Using FTP is necessary for many things, such as uploading worlds, scripts, plugins, and many other operations that require access to your server files.
QGS Hosting has two FTP options that you can use. The first is our File Manager, available in Console, and the second is using your server's FTP credentials to use your favorite FTP client, such as FileZilla. We recommend that you use a FTP client for files larger than 100MB.
File Manager
To access your server's files through the file manager, you will need to login in your Console , select your server, and follow these steps:
Step 1) Go to your Console > click on your server and then navigate to "FILE MANAGER" in the left menu. 
Upload files
Step 2) To upload a specific file or archive in .zip format, click the [UPLOAD] button
Edit files
Step 3) To edit a file of your choice, click on the file and the text editor will appear. 
You can now make the necessary changes and click the [SAVE CONTENT] button to save the changes.
Rename/Move/Copy/Archive/Unzip/Download and Delete Files
Step 4) The control panel has many other operations that you can use to manage your files. You can do this by simply right-clicking on the file or folder you want to manage.
FTP client (FileZilla)
The file manager is useful in many cases, but sometimes it's a good idea to use an FTP client to make changes. FTP clients such as FileZilla are often better suited for larger file transfers over 100MB. Advanced users often choose FTP Client over File Manager. You can still use the FTP client of your choice in just a few steps!

To access your server's files through the file manager, you will need to login in your control panel, select your server, and follow these steps:
Step 1) Go to your Console > click on your server and then navigate to "FILE MANAGER" in the left menu.
Step 2) Click on the FTP DETAILS button
- and you will be shown the details, which you need to put in your FTP Client
Step 3) Now fill in the displayed FTP credentials from the control panel in the FTP client of your choice (in our case we use FileZilla) and click on [Quickconnect]
IMPORTANT: Your FTP password is the same as the password you use to access the control panel!
NOTE: Your FTP client can give you a message about the Host Key, all you have to do is mark that you trust this Host Key and continue.
Step 4) Once you have connected via an FTP client to the server, you will see the files on your computer and the files on your server.
Step 5) To upload files from your computer to your server, simply right-click the file or folder (or you can select all to upload more than one file) that you want to manage. By the same method, you can edit/rename and delete files.
