PC servers (FTP & log forwarder)

Link any PC server via FTP/FTPS, or push logs live from a self-hosted machine.

Option A — FTP / FTPS (any host)

  1. 1Get your FTP host, port, username and password from your host's panel.
  2. 2Find the folder that contains the .ADM files (usually the server profile folder).
  3. 3Dashboard → Link server → PC → FTP / FTPS, fill in the details and save.
  4. 4Click Test connection.

Option B — Log forwarder (self-hosted, near-instant)

Run a tiny forwarder next to your server that pushes new log lines the moment they are written.

  1. 1Dashboard → Link server → PC → HTTP push. Copy the ingest key shown after saving.
  2. 2Install Node.js 18+ on the server machine and download forwarder.mjs from our support Discord.
  3. 3Run it with your key (example below). On Windows use NSSM to run it as a service.
set KILLFEED_URL=https://skoobyskillfeed.duckdns.org/ingest/v1/logs
set KILLFEED_KEY=kfk_your_key
set DAYZ_PROFILE_DIR=C:\DayZServer\profiles
node forwarder.mjs
