Organize Your Files

Create folders to keep your server organized:

• /mods - For game modifications
• /plugins - For server plugins
• /worlds - For backup worlds
• /configs - For custom configurations

Avoid Hidden Files

Files starting with . are hidden system files. Generally, don't modify these unless you know what you're doing.

File Size Limits

• Individual files: Up to 100 MB via web upload
• For larger files, use compression or split into parts

Refresh the View

If files seem missing or outdated, click the Refresh button to reload the file list.

Troubleshooting

Files Not Showing

1. Click Refresh to reload
2. Check if you're in the right folder
3. Ensure the server has finished writing files

Cannot Delete/Rename

1. Make sure the file isn't in use
2. Stop the server if necessary
3. Check your permission level

Slow Loading

Large folders may take time to load. If it's very slow:

1. Try navigating to a subfolder directly
2. Check your internet connection
3. Clear browser cache and reload
