STEP 1: Download the forge Installer for the version of forge you would like.
All installers can be found here: https://files.minecraftforge.net/
STEP 2: Create a folder called "Server" on your desktop.
STEP 3: Run the installer you downloaded and select "Install Server". Press the 3 dots at the bottom of the installer and find the folder you created on your desktop. Then, select open.

STEP 4: Press "Ok" and let the installer run. This will then gather all the necessary files for your server and place them in the folder you just created.
STEP 5: Using SFTP, upload all the files that were just created on to your server.
