Upload a World to your Vintage Story server

If you have your own world that you would like to continue running on a server, follow these steps to locate and upload a world.

🚧

Stop the Server

Before uploading a world to a Vintage Story server, make sure to stop the server.

Find the world to upload

1. Launch Vintage Story and click on "Singleplayer."

2. On the bottom-left of the menu, click "Open Saves Folder."

   

3. Locate the world you would like to upload to a server. The save will be a .vcdbs file.

Upload the world to the server

1. Log into the server with SFTP
   .

2. Navigate to the folder vintage-story/data/Saves/

3. Copy the .vcdbs file into the folder.

   

4. Open serverconfig.json in vintage-story/data/

   

5. Change SaveFileLocation to the file path of the uploaded world. This must exactly match the file name including the .vcdbs file tag.

   

6. Save the file, then start the server.

🚧

Don't see a /data/ folder?

If the /data/ folder doesn't exist yet, the server may not have been started yet. Run the server until the folder has been generated, then continue with the upload instructions.
