# How to Upload a Save to a Windrose Server

How to upload a save to a Windrose server refers to transferring save data from a local save or local world into a Windrose server or dedicated server so progress can continue online. This process moves world data and other server files into the correct world folder, allowing an uploaded world or transferred world to become the active world once the server loads. It is commonly used for world transfer, backups, moving single-player progress to multiplayer, or sharing a completed save with friends through a hosted server environment.

* Hit **Solo/Offline**.

* Find the desired world and copy the world's ID.
