Once you turn your server back on after changing the version, you will see the plugins or mods folder depending on the installed version.

Plugins or mods must be in .jar format, but you can upload them more quickly and easily by compressing them all into a zip, uploading the zip to the respective folder and then unzipping it. Add files
