How do I dowload the world from the server

[glass meadow]

I have wanted to end my minecraft server because of its inactivity but I want to keep the world. Can anyone tell me how?

You can make a backup and download that if you want to keep all the files, if you just want the world you just download the world folder (if you didn't change the name, its just called 'world')

Just click it and click download, thats about all there's to it

what s the diffrence between just keeping the world vs all files

If you just want to play the world in singleplayer, the world is fine. If you ever want to load the server back up again, the full backup may come in handy.
