Valheim – How to Transfer Save from PC to Dedicated Server
Before we tell you how to transfer save from PC to dedicated server in Valheim, you should first locate the save files on the PC.
The Valheim save files is located at C:\Users\PCname\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim. However, if you simply follow the path using the Windows Explorer, you may not be able to find the AppData. The folder is hidden by default. You need to select ‘Show hidden files and folders’ in order to view the files.
But, there is a quicker way to access the folder besides enabling show for hidden files and folder. Go to the Windows Navigation bar and paste the above path.
Once you have the save file, follow the below process to transfer the save to the dedicated server.
- Download FileZilla or other similar FTP apps and install it.
- Go to your “server status” page on G-Portal. There’s FTP server information there which you type into FileZilla to connect. (Host, Username, Password, Port)
- Turn off your server
- In FileZilla local site, browse to your save location
(C:\Users<user>\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds)
- In FileZilla Remote Site, browse to your server’s folder “save>worlds”
- Replace whatever was in your server’s world’s folder with your PC world’s older.
- Turn server back on
