I’m an idiot.
I double checked and it one of the files wasn’t there. I could have sworn it was there before I made this post.
Even though FileZilla didn’t give me an error, and said all files were transferred, some got lost.
Sorry to waste your time! Thanks for the help!
yep… they were all there. The ‘some gibberish’ part I had never seen before, and didn’t know what it was referring to, I left it out for security sake. But the files where in my subfolder on my server, so I’m not sure why they weren’t working.
