Select all the files on the left of the screen and drag to the right side. (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.

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.
