Managed Game Server Hosting (Clanforge) - Clanforge Game Server File Transfer Protocol (GSFTP)

As a user, you can access your Clanforge-exposed files either programmatically via FTP or via an FTP client with the GSFTP service. GSFTP allows you to access any files that you would normally access through the Downloads section on the Clanforge web interface. The Clanforge-exposed files can be configured to include any data produced by your server binary such as log files, core/crash dumps, etc

Additionally, exposed files can be configured to show within directories with relevant names.

Notes:

• Currently only Multiplay may configure which files are available at this time, please contact Multiplay Support to reveal additional files.

• The representation of exposed files (such as custom directory names within FTP) does not modify the files on disk.

Exposed files

Within each numbered server ID folder, there are additional files and folders the Multiplay team has exposed, which might include server logs, server assets, and crash logs. If you do not see the files or folders that you need, contact support.

Directory layout

The below directory tree shows the structure of your server files, and how they look from the FTP client.

The Clanforge-exposed files and directories are unique to each game server instance, grouped into folders named after the game server’s server ID. We organize the server ID folders in several ways: 

1. By fleet ID

2. By game title

3. By server ID

Fleet ID

Files and folders organized by fleet ID have the server ID folders nested within the fleet ID and the region ID. The hierarchy is Fleet UUID → Region UUID → Server ID.

Game tile

Files and folders organized by game tile have the server ID folders nested within folders named after the game tile. 

Server ID

Files and folders organized by server ID have all the server ID folders in a flat hierarchy. There is no additional organization apart from the server IDs.
