How to transfer a single-player save to your ARK SERVER?

Moving a single-player world to an Ark server allows players to experience the game with others in a multiplayer environment, adding a new level of excitement and challenge to the gameplay. It can provide players with a more stable and reliable gaming experience. Dedicated servers often have better performance and support than single-player games.

NOTE: An FTP client is required to transfer files onto the Ark server manually.
Follow this guide to learn how to use an FTP client.
