Moding my server

I need help with moding my server. I know i need to down load mods but then what do i do with them. Do I have to contact my server provider and have them load them or can i do it my self.

You should generally be able to download the mods and then upload them to your server through its FTP. The exact procedure differs between server types.

theres 3rd party ftp clients and theres the built in IE FTP, which if you click on the link provided in the file manager section of your control panel, you can gain access to the FTP. Now FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, which means that its a medium to transfer files from your computer to the server remotely. To edit the config files, then you go to file manager and edit accordingly.

do you have a firewall that could be blocking the ftp connection?

not sure, depends on the firewall you have, you need to open port 21 or if theres an option in the firewall settings to allow FTP services or something similar to that, enable that.

first of all, disable the firewall and see if this is the issue at all
