Upload an existing world to your server

Overview

You can upload an existing Minecraft world (from singleplayer or another server) to your Baires Host server using either the built-in file manager or SFTP.

Method 1: Panel file manager (small worlds)

Best for worlds under 500 MB:

1. Go to panel.baires.host → select your server
2. Stop the server
3. Navigate to Files
4. Delete or rename the existing world folder (and world_nether, world_the_end if present)
5. Click Upload and select your world folder (zipped)
6. After upload, extract the zip file
7. Rename the extracted folder to world (must match the level-name in server.properties)
8. Start the server

Method 2: SFTP (recommended for large worlds)

Best for worlds over 500 MB:

1. In the panel, go to Settings → note your SFTP connection details:

• Host: sftp://panel.baires.host:2022
• Username: shown in the panel

1. Use an SFTP client (FileZilla, WinSCP):

• Host: panel.baires.host
• Port: 2022
• Username: from the panel
• Password: your panel account password

1. Connect and navigate to the server root (/)
2. Delete or rename the existing world folders
3. Upload your world folder (renamed to world)
4. Start the server

Finding your singleplayer world

macOS

Important notes

• The folder name must match the level-name value in server.properties (default: world)
• For Paper/Spigot servers, the Nether and End are stored inside the world folder as DIM-1 and DIM1
• For Vanilla servers, they are separate folders: world_nether and world_the_end
• Make sure the world was saved on the same or older Minecraft version as your server
• Compress large worlds into a .zip before uploading via SFTP for faster transfer
