How can I access my Ranked server?
Ranked servers generally have no FTP access. This of course does not apply to non-Ranked game servers on the IP. Otherwise, Ranked servers are set as normal like our other servers using our web interface. For access to a running server, we offer BF2CC or Procon, depending on the game.
