📁 Uploading Files via SFTP on the Expanse Panel
This guide will walk you through uploading files to your game server using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). SFTP

To upload files via SFTP, you’ll need:
- Access to the Expanse Panel: https://panel.expanse.host
- Your SFTP username (found in the panel)
- Your SFTP server address (also shown in the panel)
- Your account password (used to log in to the panel)

running may lead to data loss or file corruption.
