Failure creating the folder

[south aspen]

Hello,
I was trying to install the plugin to my spigot/paper server. I am using a personal server with linux ubuntu to program it. I've got spigot set up and the server runs well. When i try to download floodgate or geyser, a new txt document "spigot" or "spigot.1" shows up instead of the jar files (geyser or floodgate). Do you know the fix for this?

I entered the plugins folder

cd plugins

then used wget https://download.geysermc.org/v2/projects/geyser/versions/latest/builds/latest/downloads/spigot

then wget https://download.geysermc.org/v2/projects/floodgate/versions/latest/builds/latest/downloads/spigot

and the spigot and spigot.1 files showed up

when i run the server, no geyser or floodgate folders show up for me to copy the text document

You need to specify file names for those 2, otherwise wget assumes the last part of the path as the file name

can you give me an example?

I’m slightly confused

I'd personally recommend that you use a sftp client like filezilla to access your server's files, then you can easily upload plugins and stuff

you can also download files from your server with an sftp client. It's similar to an ssh client like putty, except you manage files instead of using commands

So

wget (url) geyser

for geyser should specify the jar file for geyser?

I think I’m still slightly confused

[stone field]

you need a .jar ending on the files

otherwise paper doesn't load them

I see

Wget (url) geyser.jar

I’m not using the version of Ubuntu with visual effects and the ability to use a mouse. I’m using barebones black screen with white text and arrow keys/commands for everything.

Are you saying I could connect to the hardware through FileZilla and then visualize the files differently than how I’m doing it now?

Connect to the hardware on like my laptop?

You can use an sftp client and connect to your server from another computer. It isn't running on the server itself

As long as your server is ssh-able, you should be able to run filezilla or another sftp client on another pc on the same network as the ubuntu server and you can use that to access files on the server with a convenient gui

If you don't have ssh setup on your ubuntu server, you can use this video to set it up https://youtu.be/Wlmne44M6fQ

you'd just copy the commands put into the ubuntu terminal into your ubuntu server

the command prompt would represent another computer connecting (ssh-ing) to the server

Oh yo thank you.

as a general tip, once you set up the ssh thing, you can ssh into your server and run commands from another computer using the putty windows program. And you'd access files from another computer with the filezilla program
