Vintage Story – How do I upload my savegame?

Step 1: Locate Your Save File (Local PC)

• Go to your Vintage Story save folder on your PC
• The default location is:
  C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\Saves\worldname
  Hint: Replace YourUsername with your actual Windows username
  Hint: Replace worldname with the name of your saved world
• Copy the entire save folder (it should contain files like map.db, playerdata.db, and world.db)

Step 2: Access Your G-Portal Server via FTP

• Log into your GPORTAL account
• Find your Vintage Story server under “My Servers”
• Stop the server before uploading the save to prevent corruption
• Access FTP:
  • In the GPORTAL web panel, find the FTP login credentials under “FTP Access”
  • Use an FTP client like FileZilla (recommended) or WinSCP
  • Enter the following details into your FTP client:
    Host
    Username
    Password
    Port
    Hint: All Infos can be found within the GPORTAL webinterface
• Connect to the server via FTP

Step 3: Upload the Save to Your Server

• Once connected, navigate to the save folder on your server:
  /vintagestory/saves/
• Upload your world folder from Step 1 into this directory
• Ensure the entire save folder is copied and matches the original structure

Step 4: Assign the Save to Your Server

• Go back to the GPORTAL control panel
• Under Basic Settings, find the option for World Name
• Change it to match the name of your uploaded save folder exactly
• Save changes

Step 5: Start the Server

• Restart your Vintage Story server from the G-Portal panel
• Join the server to confirm that the world loaded correctly
