GameCreate allows the remote uploading of files via the web, allowing you to remotely update files GameCreate uses to launch game servers.
An example of when such functionality would be useful are banlists.
If you are running multiple servers of the same type (for example, Counter-Strike), you may want to have all your game servers share the same ban list.
Usage Guide
To remotely update a GameCreate configuration file, you first need to identify which file type is to be updated.
There are game wide files (The ones you edit on the Game's Files page), and Server Specific files, which are edited on a per server basis.
This guide is for updating Server Specific Files. To read documentation on updating game files, visit Admin Upload Game File Page
To upload a file, you need to either send a GET or POST request to:
![[WWW]](/wiki/gamecreate/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}
http://au.gamecreate.com/admin/UploadServerFile.aspx?username=USER&password=PASS&fileid=FILEID&contents=CONTENTS* Note: You should use POST requests if you have a large file contents.
You will require a valid username and password, and one with sufficient access permissions, to update the server's specific configuration file. Grant the user WRITE access to the server itself, or WRITE access to 'Servers of game' for the game the server is under.
FILEID is the ID of the file you are trying to update, and is the number in the address bar of a file you are editing:
../admin/Edit Server File.aspx?file=<FILEID>&id=<SERVERID>
You will receive a response message indicating a success or failure of the upload once it has been completed.
