SFTP & File Manager Connection Guide
Upload custom worlds, edit configuration files, and manage plugins using the web browser File Manager or high-speed SFTP clients like FileZilla and WinSCP.

The built-in File Manager in panel.oryncloud.com is perfect for quick configuration edits, archive unzipping, and files under 100 MB:

.yml,.properties, or.jsonfile to edit with syntax highlighting. - 1-Click Archive Extraction: Upload a ZIP or tarball and click the three dots → Unarchive.
- Fast Download: Click the three dots beside any file to download it directly to your PC.
2. When to Use SFTP (Large Files & Worlds)
