Editing config files in TCAdmin is straightforward with built-in tools, no external FTP needed for basics. Access from your fpsdedicated.com WHMCS client area > TCAdmin login.[docs.tcadmin]
Via Panel/File Manager
Primary method for most users.
-
Navigate to File Manager tab: Browse folders like /serverfiles or game-specific (e.g., /ShooterGame/Saved/Config for ARK).
-
Right-click file (e.g., server.cfg) > Edit: Syntax-highlighted editor with line numbers.
-
Auto-backup created pre-save; preview diffs.[docs.tcadmin]
-
Drag-drop uploads for new files/mods; mass-delete via checkboxes.
Via FTP/SFTP
For bulk transfers or automation.
-
Dashboard > Network tab shows FTP details (host=yourserverip, port=2022, user/servicepass).
-
Use FileZilla/CoreFTP: Connect SFTP for security; root at /var/gameservers/[gameid] or equivalent.
-
Recommended for large worlds/mods; respect quotas.[docs.tcadmin]
Best Practices
-
Always stop server before major edits (prevents corruption).
-
Common files: server.cfg (RCON, ports), bans.txt, users.cfg.
-
Search files via panel search; restore from Backups if issues.
Changes live after restart—test via console. Ticket support for permission errors.[youtube]
