Downloading a Multiplayer Minecraft Server
Hi,
I opened a minecraft server with linode and I am thinking of shutting it down. However, I'd rather not lose the progress I made and would like to keep a copy of it and play on it in a single-player world.
I am not sure where to begin or if it is even possible, but how do I download a multiplayer server and set it to singleplayer server?

This is indeed possible. To start, you'll want to locate your world folder on your Linode. If you installed our Marketplace App, it should be located in the following directory:
/home/minecraft/serverfiles/
- Transfer the world folder to your local computer using something like
scpto move it to the appropriate location for your world files on your home computer. - Launch the game on your local computer and select the Single Player option.
- It will ask you to either create a new world or open an existing one. You'll choose the second option and choose the world folder from the first step above.
Hope this helps and let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
Hi,
Regarding step 1, what is an scp and how do I use it to move the world folder onto my computer?
Thanks.

Thanks for the link, I have another question: how do I access the /home/minecraft/serverfiles/ directory in order to transfer the world folder?
