Can I get console or FTP access outside the panel?

Your file access lives through SFTP and your console lives in the panel — both tied to your panel account. 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 in 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

1. For files outside the browser, use SFTP with the details on your Settings tab.
2. For the console, use the panel's Console tab (there's no separate external console for game servers).
3. For automation, you can generate a client API key in Account → API Credentials.

Tip: If you want full external/root-style access to run arbitrary software, that's what a VPS is for — see the VPS section.

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.
