To check that your server is **Fabric,** head over to the **Startup** Area (accessible from the dropdown menu, under the **Configuration** tab, on the panel). Check the image below.

When you've opened the modpack's webpage, click on "Files", then "Additional files" and to download the modpack, click the 3 dots.

Before uploading your files, unarchive/unzip your modpack.

(Don't drag on a folder) With this modpack we can just double click on the mods folder on both sides. And upload the files, as the other ones in the modpack aren't essential. --- [![image.png](https://help.alienhost.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/lHrimage.png)](https://help.alienhost.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/lHrimage.png) --- [![image.png](https://help.alienhost.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/ycLimage.png)](https://help.alienhost.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/ycLimage.png) --- [![image.png](https://help.alienhost.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/8F4image.png)](https://help.alienhost.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/8F4image.png) Now you can close WinSCP ## **Restart your server** Go back to the panel. Restart the server. ## **Troubleshooting** **Upload doesn't work?** Make sure your internet is stable and your server has enough space. **Server crashing?** Make sure the modpack's version matches the server version. Also make sure you're using the correct Java version for the server.
