Connecting your OOTP Baseball online league to Sim Hosts takes a few minutes.
1. Create your league
After subscribing, go to your dashboard and click Create League. Pick a name, subdomain, and your OOTP version. Provisioning takes about five minutes; when it’s done your league shows an ACTIVE badge.
2. Get your credentials
Open the league’s OOTP Config page for your host, username, and paths. The password is shown once at creation, if you miss it, use the New Commissioner Password button on that page to generate a fresh one.
3. Configure OOTP
In OOTP: Game Settings → Online League → Online League Settings. For each FTP section, enter:
- Host: sftp.simhosts.com
- Port: 21
- FTP Mode: Passive; Standard FTP
- Username / Password: from your OOTP Config page
Use Standard FTP, not Secure FTP (TLS), for League File Download and Team File Transfer. Your managers’ quick-start settings inherit your FTP Mode, and OOTP managers can only connect over plain FTP, if you pick TLS here, their team exports fail with “Error -201: Connect error”. Report Upload can stay on TLS if you prefer. Always use Passive; Active mode fails behind most home routers.
Paths: League file upload/download → /leaguefile, Report upload → /reports/html, Team file transfer → /exports. Click each section’s Test button to verify.
