How To Upload Your ARK: Survival Ascended World To Your Server

You can bring an ARK: Survival Ascended world from another server to your Game Host Bros server. A world is a folder named after its map, such as TheIsland_WP, holding the map's .ark save along with the .arkprofile (player) and .arktribe (tribe) files.

Uploading Your World

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Navigate to ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/ and open the folder named after your world's map, creating it if it isn't there.
  4. 4
    If that folder already holds a world you want to keep, download a backup first, since the upload replaces its files.
  5. 5
    Upload the files from your world's folder, replacing any files with the same names.
  6. 6
    In the sidebar, go to Settings and, under Basic, set Map to your world's map.
  7. 7
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Tip

World saves can be large. For files over 1 GB, upload them with SFTP.

If your world used mods, add the same mods to your server first. See Installing Mods.
