How to Upload Missions to your ARMA 3 Server

Before you can configure a single mission or mission cycle on your Arma 3 server, you must first locate your desired mission files locally and then upload them to your server.


Finding your Local Mission Files

After downloading custom missions or loading vanilla ones, their .pbo files can be found in the MPMissionsCache.

  1. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open a Run window.
  2. Enter %localappdata%, then press ok.
  3. In the opened directory, navigate to the /Arma 3/MPMissionsCache/
  4. Locate your desired missions .pbo file.

Uploading a Mission File to your Server

After locating your desired mission .pbo file(s), you'll need to upload them to your mpmissions folder on your server.

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Access your server files via FTP, we recommend using Filezilla.
  3. Navigate to the /mpmissions directory.
  4. Upload your local mission file (.pbo) to the mpmissions directory.
  5. Start your server.
