Enter your old server's **SFTP/FTP/FTPS** credentials.\
Leave the base directory as default, or specify a folder (e.g., `/plugins`) to import only that folder.

Click **Import Files** to begin the transfer.

## SFTP Upload

<Info>No size limit. Recommended for large files.</Info>

Use SFTP if you’re uploading **worlds**, **modpacks**, or files larger than 100MB.

### Recommended SFTP Clients

* **[Cyberduck](https://cyberduck.io/)** — Simple UI, Windows & macOS
* **[WinSCP](https://winscp.net/eng/download.php)** — Windows-only
* **[Termius](https://termius.com/)** — Advanced, cross-platform

### How to Connect

1. Go to **Settings** → **Launch SFTP**
2. Copy your SFTP details
3. Open Cyberduck (or another client)
4. Choose **Open Connection → SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)**
5. Enter your credentials
6. Drag-and-drop your files into the server

**Slow transfer?**\
Lots of small files upload slowly.\
Zip them first, upload once, and then [unarchive](/panel/unarchiving) them in the panel.
