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?

...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.

SSH and wget. What have you already tried?

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.

Yup did it and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help everyone!

You need the whole folder to install the game. You can use FTP or wget to download the folder.

ssh is great to know. It ulra doesn't provide ssh try downloading the top level folder from fitgirl and all the items therein

You could maybe setup a SMB share targeting your download location, mount that on the computer you’d like to install on, then point the setup.exe at the SMB share for the bin files.
