I've "installed" the Minecraft server on an FTP server, so that all useful files are there. How can I run the Server.jar file for the server to run, even if my laptop is turned off? Is that possible? I need the program FileZilla, if that is important and I'm also able to install new programs.
PS: The FTP server is actually from my website provider, so that's where my website is stored.
You need java and best a "real" server
What is a "real" server?
And for what and how do I need Java?
To execute the .jar
I can run the .jar file, but not through the FTP server. When I host the server on my laptop, I have no problems but I do not want that.
Yes, but you have no way to run on NEN pure webspace server to run
The FTP server is for data exchange only. About him you can't start any programs, which should then run on the server.
Your question consists of several parts. First of all, you should check with your hosting provider, if the operation of a Minecraft server is allowed at all.
Here, a server is created on a server and since Minecraft is very RAM-heavy, the webspace is very likely not enough anyway and does not offer good performance. A website needs almost no RAM, but Minecraft already and there could be use problems.
is required for the start / stop a console. Somewhere I have read that there's a web interface for hosting platforms / web space. They are installed like any other software and you can then outdated the minecraft server. Unfortunately, I do not know the name anymore. Use Google Search.
Is FTP only for uploading files. A storage does not take place here, this is on the Web space / server of the offerer. Therefore you can't execute any commands here.
Do you recommend a provider for Minecraft server to use, which saves you many problems.
