Creating the symlink so directory works correctly on your Valheim Game Server

Firstly, on the far left, see the icon that says " Create Symlink"

Click this and it will create a symlink to the local user directory ( where Valheim stores it's data )

It will attempt to copy over all files there before it creates the link to your game server directory.

Once this is done, your server is linked, the next step is to upload your world file.


If you have created a world on your local machine, this should be found in: C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

Once there, zip up the contents/compress it in /worlds/

Then, either upload this file via FTP functionality that we provide or upload via the file manager if the file is less than 100MB.

Inside the file manager in the game panel you can then unzip this file.


The data you got from /worlds/ should be uploaded to the directory on your server called /worlds/
