Copy a world between your servers

How do I move a world from one of my servers to another?

Download it from the first server and upload it to the second, then set level-name.

Before you start: The target server on the same or a newer Minecraft version than the source.

Step by step

1. On the source server run save-all, press Stop, then archive its world folders in Files and download the zip.
2. On the target server press Stop so it does not overwrite the world while you copy.
3. Upload the zip to the target server's root and Unarchive it.
4. Set level-name in the target's server.properties to the copied folder name.
5. Start the target and check the world, then delete the uploaded zip.
6. For huge worlds, use SFTP on both servers instead of the browser.

Check it worked: The target server loads the copied world.

Why it happens: Each server has its own files, so worlds are copied through your PC or SFTP.
