Summary
Managing server files and connecting to sFTP can be essential for running a Minecraft Bedrock server smoothly and efficiently. sFTP, or secure file transfer protocol, allows server administrators to transfer files between their local computer and the server securely. It can help transfer large files, such as custom maps or plugins, and manage the server's configuration files. Additionally, understanding the effective use of sFTP ensures that a Minecraft Bedrock server remains up-to-date with the latest mods, plugins, and configurations, guaranteeing a seamless gaming experience for all players.
| Note | Depending on the operating system, the recommended sFTP clients are: Windows - WinSCP | macOS - Cyberduck |
