Large File Uploads Fail in the File Manager
The panel’s File Manager works fine for small files, but large worlds and saves often fail or time out when uploaded through the browser. If you’re moving a sizeable world over, use one of the two options below instead.
Option 1: Zip, Upload, Unarchive
Section titled “Option 1: Zip, Upload, Unarchive”Good for moderate-sized folders, and doesn’t require any extra software.
- Zip the folder on your computer.
- Upload the
.zipfile in File Manager. - Right-click the zip file and select Unarchive.
- Delete the zip once you’re done, to free up disk space.
For a full walkthrough, see How do I upload folders to the Panel?
Option 2: SFTP (Best for Transfers Over ~1 GB)
Section titled “Option 2: SFTP (Best for Transfers Over ~1 GB)”For anything larger, SFTP is faster and far more reliable than uploading through the browser, since it’s built to handle large transfers without timing out.
See our guide: How do I connect to my server using SFTP?
You’ll need a panel password to use SFTP. If you only sign in with Login with AleForge, set a panel password first: How do I log in to the Game Panel?
“Disk Full”
If your upload fails with a message about no space left, you’re out of disk space on your server. This is an example of what it can look like in the console, your wording and error ID will be different:
container@aleforge~ Server marked as offline...[AleForgeDaemon]: Checking server disk space usage, this could take a few seconds...container@aleforge~ Error Event [e5829894-b5e1-4b08-b307-4493e4cbd783]: an unexpected error was encountered while handling this requestTo fix it:
- Delete any files you no longer need, and empty Trash in the File Manager, since trashed files still count against your disk space until they’re emptied.
- If you need more room, you can upgrade your disk or add Legendary Loadout for additional storage.
