> How to upload large folders to your server using an SFTP client

For uploading large directories or thousands of files, we recommend using an SFTP client such as **FileZilla**, **WinSCP**, or **Cyberduck**.

## Prerequisites

* Active Pterodactyl server
* SFTP client installed on your computer (FileZilla recommended)

## Connecting via SFTP

<Steps>
  <Step title="Retrieve SFTP Credentials">
    In your server dashboard, find your connection details under **Settings** -> **SFTP Details**:

    * **Host / IP**: Server node IP or hostname
    * **Port**: Typically `2022`
    * **Username**: Container username (e.g. `container123`)
    * **Password**: Your Pterodactyl panel account password
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect via FileZilla">
    Open FileZilla, enter the Host, Username, Password, and Port (`2022`), then click **Quickconnect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Container Directory">
    Navigate to the root working directory: `/home/container`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload Files">
    Drag and drop files from your local computer into the remote container window.
