How do I transfer a minecraft server backup to another server?
So a few friends and I made a server and my birthday is coming up where I will get a paid server instead of a free one from freemcserver.net. How do I transfer the world to the new server? The server isn't made yet but when it does get made I want to know how
I recommend FileZilla. This should work for pretty much any hosting service, but I can tell you for certain that it works for shockbyte (which the asker has clarified they are using in the comments) because they have a How To section for using FileZilla. Once you have learned how to do that once you will find FileZilla (or perhaps some other FTP client) wonderfully convenient and straightforward for all future server management needs.
- Connect to old server via FileZilla
- Download the files
- Connect to new server via FileZilla
- Upload the files
