How to Upload a Map or World to your 7 Days to Die server

With 7 Days to Die, you may want to continue with your existing map from another host, or upload a world with the custom generation you wouldn’t be able to do on your server.

Locate Your Single-Player Save

Open Windows File Explorer
In the path at the top, input %appdata%\7DaysToDie and hit enter
Open the Saves folder and then look at the folders to find your desired save
You can optionally create a .zip file which will speed up the upload to your server

Uploading the Save to Your Server

Connect to your server using SFTP. We recommend WinSCP.
Navigate to %appdata%\7DaysToDie\Saves
Open .local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves
Upload your world (or .zip file) to the server
Go to the AleForge Panel
Open the File Manager
If you uploaded a .zip file, go to .local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves
Right click your .zip file and select Unarchive
Open Startup
Set GameWorld to the name of the world itself. For example, Navezgane
Set GameName to the name of the save for that world. For example, My Game
Save the changes
Go to the Console and start the server to load your world
