How to Upload an Existing Windrose World to Your Server
Transfer your local Windrose world save to your dedicated server.
If you've been playing Windrose locally or on another server, you can upload that world save to your XGamingServer dedicated server.
Where Local Save Files Are
On your local machine, Windrose saves worlds to:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default\RocksDB\The RocksDB folder contains your world data, organized by game version and world ID.
Upload via FTP / SFTP
Stop your server from the Dashboard.
Connect to your server via FTP/SFTP. You can find the SFTP address and username in the Dashboard under the SFTP Details box.
Use an FTP client like FileZilla and connect with:
- Host: the SFTP address shown in the panel
- Username: shown in the SFTP Details box
- Password: your XGamingServer panel password
- Port: 2022
Navigate to R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/ on the server.
Upload your local world folder into the same path on the server, matching the folder structure.
Note the IslandId (folder name) of the world you uploaded.
Open the File Manager → R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/ServerDescription.json.
Update WorldIslandId to match the uploaded world's folder name/ID:
"WorldIslandId": "YOUR_UPLOADED_WORLD_ID"Save and start your server. It will load your uploaded world.
Upload via File Manager (Small Saves)
For smaller saves, you can use the panel File Manager directly:
Stop your server.
In the panel sidebar, click File Manager.
Navigate to R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/.
Click Upload and select your world folder (compressed as a zip).
Extract the zip in the File Manager, then update WorldIslandId in ServerDescription.json to match.
Start your server.
