      So, you’ve picked a game hosting company to host your server, that’s great, but there may be some learning required on using their services, each game service provider may be different in how they provide such functionality, but one thing that’s typically in common is the use of FTP ( File Transfer Protocol ) to access the files remotely.

      Many game hosting services provide a file manager to access in-game files or an easy to access graphical editor section to make it easier than editing text files, you should consult their knowledgebase for support articles on this. Besides that, typically in most cases they will provide you with FTP access, we will go over utilising FTP in the next section.

      • WinSCP
      • Cyberduck
      • Serv-U
      • Coffee Cup
      • CoreFTP
      • CrossFTP
