# 📁 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 offers a fast, secure, and reliable way to manage your server files outside of the browser-based file manager.

To upload files via SFTP, you’ll need:

• Access to the Expanse Panel
• 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)
• An SFTP client such as:
  • FileZilla
  • WinSCP
  • Cyberduck

1. Log in to the Expanse Panel.
2. Select your server from the Servers list.
3. Click on the Settings tab.
4. Under SFTP Details, you'll find:
   • SFTP Server Address
   • Username
   • Port 2022

1. Open FileZilla.
2. At the top, enter the following:
   • Host: your SFTP server address
   • Username: your SFTP username
   • Password: your Expanse Panel password
   • Port: 2022
3. Click Quickconnect.
4. Once connected:
   • The left panel is your local files.
   • The right panel is your server files.
5. Drag and drop files from left to right to upload them.

1. Open WinSCP.
2. In the login window:
   • File protocol: SFTP
   • Hostname: your SFTP server address
   • Port number: 2022
   • Username: your SFTP username
   • Password: your Expanse Panel password
3. Click Login.
4. Once connected, use drag-and-drop to upload your files.

If you prefer using the terminal:

sftp -P 2022 username@host

Once connected:
