Hello! i've came here to ask for help regarding the issue of modding server via G-portal, i know its kinda 'dummy' question but bare with me lol.

So i do know the easiest way to mod server via FTP (filezilla), i've seen posts saying to put the mods in vintagestorydata/mods... problem is i cant see the vintagestorydata folder at all in filezilla after connecting to the host, the folder that i can see is 'Mods' but inside it theres a txt file saying same thing "Do not use it for other mods, instead put other mods in the VintageStoryData/Mods folder."... which again i cant find at all, its as if im allowed only into the 'inner' settings of the server? sorta? 

I've attached the folder list that i have access to, the mods folder is the one i mentioned just moment ago, im unsure if im being trolled by the g-portal and im supposed to drop mods there, dont really want to brick anything, same stuff is shown in filezilla as shown.

Am not intending to add big/heavy/many mods, mostly stuff like stone quary/carry on, something for gravestones upon death (or skeletons since seen one like that, tho i guess same thing...)

Any information regarding the location of the folder/proper path to the mod folder where im 'supposed' to place the mods would be of great use and help!

I think GPortal might have changed things on their end, I remember not being able to get the filezilla method to work about a year ago when I last used GPortal for a server.
However, there should be a dedicated Mod tab in the server settings (in Gportal) that lets you search mods straight from the vintage story mod db with a one-click install

I actually wanted to follow up on this as I just opened a new VS gportal server.
I'm sure you have solved it by now, but I found simply uploading the .zip files to the Mods folder works (yes the one with the text file saying dont put mods here)
The only issues I've had so far have been xlib, xskills, and stone quarry not working, but I'm chalking that up to them being out of date.
