# How to Upload a World to your Sons of the Forest Server

How to Upload a World to your Sons of the Forest Server. 

Sons of the Forest dedicated servers support importing existing world/save data from your previous gameplay. This allows you to seamlessly continue your progress on your dedicated server.

## Locate Your Local World Save

1. Press **Win + R** on your keyboard.
2. Type `AppData` into the Run window, then click **OK**.
3. Navigate to: `\\LocalLow\\Endnight\\SonsOfTheForest\\Saves\\76561198096227622\\Multiplayer`
4. Find the save folder you want to use and create a **.zip** file of it.
5. Move the .zip file somewhere easy to access (e.g., Desktop or Downloads).

## Upload the World to Your Server

1. Open the **Nodecraft Pro Panel** for your** Sons of the Forest **server.
2. Go to **Server Files**.
3. Navigate to: `/.wine/drive_c/users/wine/Saved Games`
4. Click **Upload**.
5. **Upload** the .zip file you created.
6. **Extract/unzip** the contents into the same directory.

**Note: Copy the exact name of your uploaded save folder—you’ll need it in the next step.**

## Set Your Existing World

You can set the save slot either through **Game Settings** or by editing the **Server Files**.

- **Game Settings:**

  In the **Basic** tab, enter the save folder name you copied earlier into the **Save Slot** field and make sure **Save Mode **says **Continue Save**.

- **Server Files:**

  Open the `dedicatedserver.cfg` file located at: `/saves`

  Enter the save folder name into the `"SaveSlot"` field.

1. Click **Submit** (Game Settings) or **Save** (Server Files).
2. **Start** your Sons of the Forest server.

## Troubleshooting

If your save file isn’t loading:

- Make sure the server is **offline** before making changes.
- Double-check that the save folder name matches in both **Game Settings** and **Server Files**.
- If issues persist, try uploading your save via FTP: [FTP Upload Guide](https://nodecraft.com/support/knowledgebase/nodepanel/basic-ftp-tutorial).

## Conclusion

Enabling your developer console can be done the same way in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 an American Truck Simulator as well. You can edit this file, client side in the configuration file of either game’s data folder in the documents folder of your PC.
