How do I move a Minecraft saved world from my desktop to my server?

I've been working a lot on my world on my computer in single player mode. My dad got me a server and so I want to transfer my world onto my server. How is this possible?

I noticed that in %appdata%\roaming\.minecraft\saves, the directories in there look a lot like the world directory on my server. Can I simply transfer my saves directory to my server?

Yes, there are saves in %appdata%\roaming\.minecraft\saves that you can use. All you need to do is drop it into the server folder after you create it and specify in the server config file (World_Name=) and write the name of you world.

In newer versions within the server.properties file the variable is now called level-name instead of World_Name.

Drag the folder of the world into your server folder then --->

you can just set the Level-name: (Name of folder in servers main folder)

If your default world is named world but you want to change it to a world called world2

You just drag the world2's world folder into the server folder and switch

Level-name: world to Level-name world2

This will be in the config file in your server folder
