chbaker0 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I'm creating a custom mod pack, and whenever I try to set the "Modpack location" URL and save the modpack configuration I get the error You must provide a valid link to your custom zip. I'm hosting it at ftp://chbaker0.tk/MyModpack.zip and I can't figure out what is wrong with that URL. It looks pretty valid to me, and it brings me to download the modpack zip. What's up here? Quote

chbaker0 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 By copying from Downloads I get the link ftp://www.chbaker0.tk/MyModpack.zip. Using that link, I get the exact same error. Is the error perhaps due to me trying to use an FTP server? Quote
chbaker0 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 I also attempted to host it through Drobox and paste the link as suggested in the pinned post "List of good places to host your modpack file" in this same forum, and get the exact same error. Quote
chbaker0 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 I found out the issue: apparently the Technic platform doesn't support hosting the modpack on FTP...oddly enough, considering that is a pretty common way to host files. It works with an HTTP server hosting my modpack file. Quote

chbaker0 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 There's also no official docs for the Solder API so it isn't really fair to say the Technic Platform supports FTP. Quote
