Docs / Manage your server

File manager

Browse and edit your server’s files from the dashboard.

Browsing files

The Files tab is a file browser over the server’s directory — the world folder, configuration files, logs, and any mod or plugin data. It becomes available once the server has finished provisioning.

Editing files

Text files (.properties, .yml, .json, .toml) open in an editor right in the dashboard. Owners and operators can save changes; viewers browse read-only.

Most edits only take effect after a restart — the server reads its config at boot.

Prefer the Settings page for anything it covers (MOTD, whitelist, operators, version): those fields are validated and applied for you. Direct file edits are the power tool — a malformed config can stop the server from booting. Take a backup before big manual changes.

Files worth knowing

server.properties — core game options (gamemode, view distance, PvP).
world/ — the map itself; this is what backups protect.
logs/latest.log — the same output the console streams.
config/, plugins/, mods/ — per-mod and per-plugin configuration, depending on your server software.
