Can I get console or FTP access outside the panel?
Your file access lives through SFTP and your console lives in the client area (https://humbleservers.com/client), with the panel still working too. Here's how to reach each one, and what your options are for automation.
How access works
For files outside the browser, SFTP is your route. The console stays on your server's Console page (or the panel's Console tab), since game servers don't have a separate external console. For scripted access, the panel offers an API.
How to access each
- For files outside the browser, use SFTP with the details from the SFTP button on your server's Files page.
- For the console, use your server's Console in the client area or the panel's Console tab (there's no separate external console for game servers).
- For automation, you can generate a client API key in the panel under Account → API Credentials.
Note: Full external/root-style access to run arbitrary software was a VPS feature, and VPS plans aren't sold any more.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use plain FTP? We use SFTP (secure) rather than legacy FTP.
Can I SSH into the container? See "How do I SSH into my server container?" — file access is via SFTP over SSH rather than a full shell.
