The following guide will teach you how to migrate your game server and data from Server.pro to Citadel Servers.
Step 1: Create a Backup Through Server.pro
Before beginning the migration process, create a backup through your Server.pro control panel.
Having a backup available provides a restore point should any files need to be recovered later.
Step 2: Download Your Server Files
Access the Server.pro File Manager or connect using FTP to download your server data.
We recommend downloading all important files, including:
• World saves
• Maps and custom worlds
• Player data and permissions
• Plugins and plugin configurations
• Mods and modpacks
• Configuration files
• Custom resource packs and server content
Store all downloaded files on your local computer before proceeding.
Step 3: Upload Files to Citadel Servers
Connect to your Citadel Servers service using FTP or the Game Panel File Manager.
Upload all downloaded files into the appropriate directories on your Citadel Servers service.
FTP is recommended for larger servers, custom worlds, and modded environments.
You can follow our FTP setup guide here: FTP Guide
Step 4: Verify Server Configuration
Before starting your server, verify the following:
• The correct game version is installed
• Plugins and mods were uploaded successfully
• Configuration files transferred correctly
• Startup settings match your previous setup
• Administrative permissions have been recreated if necessary
Step 5: Start and Test Your Server
Start your Citadel Servers service and verify that the migration completed successfully.
• Worlds load correctly
• Player data is present
• Plugins and mods function properly
• Players can connect successfully
Alternative Method: Upload a Backup Archive
If you created a downloadable backup through Server.pro, you may upload the backup archive directly through the Citadel Servers File Manager.
After uploading, extract the archive and place the files into the correct server directories.
Common Migration Issues

Verify that all world folders were uploaded completely and placed in the correct directory.
