How to manage files using SFTP

In order to access SFTP you will need a third party program to connect to our servers. We recommend FileZilla as it is straightforward to use and has all the features you will need.

|| NOTE: All other SFTP client software will work as well. || Attention mobile users: FileZilla will not work for you. For apple devices, use FTPManager and for Android devices use Admin Hands

Attention, this is third party software, Skynode is not liable for your agreements to other service(s) privacy terms and data handling.

Step 1: Make sure you have your SFTP software installed

Step 2: Open up the software and use the details found under Server Panel -> SFTP on the panel to log in.

This is what the information will look like to login with. Your Connection Address is Host, Username is the username and your password is the same as your password using when logging into the panel. You do not need to enter a port, if you entered the entire connection address, the port will fill itself.

Question 5

Minecraft | Diagnosing Issues

Accepted Answer

Diagnosing Issues

Today we will be learning how to diagnose issues with your server. This is meant for Spigot/Bukkit servers so please do not use this guide for modded servers, there will be a separate guide for that. This guide will specifically cover:

Plugin Issues
Server Lagging
Server Crashing

Server Lagging

To begin with, we will start with your server lagging. Spigot is very good with diagnosing lag issues as there is a built-in thing known as timings. This will show you exactly how much lag each plugin and event that is causing lag and anything else that could be an issue too. To enable the timings, you simply need to run the command "timings on". This will first enable the timings and start gathering information for your server.

Next, you will want to simply wait for around 3-5 minutes. During this period, play on your server as you usually would just so that you can see exactly when playing normally is the trouble. After this time, you will just want to run the command "timings paste". This will then post you the link to monitor all the data on your server.

Then you will want to go ahead and follow that link and it will present you with a table of data to do with your server.

Any boxes highlighted in yellow or red means that there are issues with that area. If you look above you will see the exact plugin or area cau
