How to Add a Savegame to Your Terraria Server

You can transfer a local world to your server to continue playing with an existing world. In regular Terraria a world consists of a single .wld file.

   Press Windows Key + R, enter the following path and confirm with Enter:

   %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds
   

2. Select the world
   Pick the desired .wld file, e.g. MyWorld.wld. Avoid spaces in the file name and use underscores instead, e.g. My_World.wld.

Upload and apply the savegame

   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Upload the world
   Upload the .wld file to the following directory:

   /saves/Worlds/
   

4. Set the world name
   Open the dashboard, navigate to the Settings and enter the file name of your world in the World Name field – without the .wld extension (e.g. My_World for My_World.wld).

5. Start the server
   Save the settings and start your server.
