To upload a world to your Minecraft server, you will need to find the world on your local pc.
If the save is from your local singleplayer Minecraft, you will need to find your Minecraft directory.
If you are on Windows you can get to this folder by using the following steps:
- Open the start menu by hitting the windows button on your keyboard
- Type: '%appdata%' and open the 'appdata' folder
- Find the '.minecraft' folder and open it
- Find the 'saves' folder and open it
- Find the folder for your world file (it will have the same name as your world)
Once you have your world folder, rename the folder to 'world'
Stop your server
Delete the 'world' folder from your minecraft server, as well as the nether and end world folders
Upload the 'world' folder from your pc to the root directory of your minecraft server in your control panel
Start your server
