With the File Manager you manage your server's files directly in the dashboard – no extra program needed. You can create, upload, edit, copy, move, rename and delete files and folders.
SFTP Credentials
At the very top of the File Manager page you find four cards with your SFTP credentials:
| Card | Content |
|---|---|
| FTP Server | The server address, e.g. sftp://game<NN>.<location>.emeraldhost.de |
| FTP Port | The port, e.g. 2022 |
| FTP Username | Your username in the format <user>.<id> |
| FTP Password | Your password, hidden by default |
Click the eye icon to show the password. With the green icon in the top right of the FTP Password card you set a new password. How to connect with these credentials is explained in Establish an SFTP connection.
