How to upload "local" server to Oracle VM server?
I've been self-hosting a server for a couple of friends on my desktop, but I've now set up an oracle vm for a server. How can I transfer all the info (world state, settings, player info etc) to the oracle server?

Have a look on YT I imagine this is something common, it would just be a case of transplanting the world files onto the set up server
When I say world files I mean all the files unique to your server, so player files etc
Download a SFTP client such as WinSCP or you can use a client like Bitvise which lets you SSH into your server and has a good SFTP client built in too
I assume you havent installed a panel software so you just need to use your oracle details
so everything in the server folder?
panel software?
Downloads for client(s) if you need one

https://www.bitvise.com/download-area
Panel software are things you see hostings use, they have a website you can access to do things like run commands, edit server files and so on
https://demo.pebblehost.com/site/login you can see one here

ohh okay - I've not got that - I've just got a CLI
Regarding server files. You just basically upload everything really.
Normally i ignore:
- cache folder
- libraries folder
- versions folder
because the above are generated when you run your server
World folder may take a while to upload if its big
ah okay
Sorry - when using WinSCP to connect the two, what should i put in the proxy username box?
Why do you need to if i may ask
With Winscp all you gotta do is:
Fill in Host (should be an ip unless u use a domain), set port to 22 for SFTP, give them your username (could be Ubuntu if you use a Ubuntu oracle VPS) and under SSH authentication give it your ssh key then ur good to go
this worked - thank you 🙂
Hopefully last thing - how do i run the .bat file from the vm? (tried
$ start.bat, but that didn't work)Linux uses sh files. Not bat files
