# How to Upload a Save to a Don't Starve Together Server

Uploading a save to your Don't Starve Together server allows you to continue an existing world, restore backups, or transfer progress from a local game to your server. This is commonly done by uploading your save files to the correct cluster directory.

## Uploading a Save

1. Launch the Don't Starve Together game on your computer.

2. Click on the "Data" button on the main menu.

3. Compress the desired "Cluster" folder to a .zip file. If you do not know the Cluster folder of your world, you can see its name when you manage the world under "SAVEDATA".

4. Open the [Apollo Panel](https://apollopanel.com), and ensure that your server is offline.

5. In the Files tab, go to the "DoNotStarveTogether/config" folder and delete the "server" folder.

6. Upload and extract the cluster folder you made in Step 3 into the same directory.
