Decided to try grabbing my first game from fitgirl and all was good until running the setup.exe. Since I have a seedbox nothing could be downloaded because the .exe file couldn’t find the bins on my computer. How do I go about pulling the game from my seedbox to computer? Do I grab a private file sharing app and move the files that way or just download every game file from the seedbox to the computer?

      After using qbittorrent I opened filebrowser(app in ultra.cc) and downloaded the setup.exe from there. I suppose I could download every file from the game in filebrowser and that would probably work too, but I would rather the download be secure. Ill look into SSH and wget.

        Get an FTP program and connect that way. I use the same service that you do, and this is the most convenient and reliable method I know of. The FTP credentials are listed in your account control panel.

    …did…did you try running an executable on a remote seedbox, headlessly?

      Nah I pulled it from the seedbox and tried…which was just as dumb after thinking about it. That realization led me to write the post. Making dumb mistakes so others will learn I guess.
