Before uploading your files to the server, you first must make sure you have the proper files, in their respective directories(folders). Use the tree below as a guide in making sure you have set everything up corretly.

## File Tree

This is the file structure that you should be uploading to the server.

<Tree>
  <Tree.Folder name="blocks" defaultOpen>
    <Tree.File name="block1.js" />

    <Tree.File name="block2.js" />

    <Tree.File name="etc..." />
  </Tree.Folder>

  <Tree.Folder name="data" defaultOpen>
    <Tree.File name="data.json" />

    <Tree.File name="INTENTS.txt" />

    <Tree.File name="token.txt" />

    <Tree.File name="workspaces.json" />
  </Tree.Folder>

  <Tree.File name="bot.js" />
