Transfer My Entire Server from port forward to HOSTING COMPANY - Developers

Hey so i have created a fully functional Gmod server and was port forwarding it so i could test it and everything is fine, i now want to release so i have bought a hosting service and i am familiar with FileZilla However my hosting service is not an empty Hardrive in the sky as i imagined it would be, it has a pre built gmod Folders in it, Am i suppose to run my start.bat from my home computer and then it activates the server on the hardrive in the sky? and why cant i just drag my entire server onto the hardrive and delete the pre built folders, these pre built folders don't even have a start.bat? please help This is what the Hardrive in the sky has, i just want to drop my whole server in, cause i need my start.bat and my cfg files but i cant add my cfg files even into the pre made cfg folder, nightmare!

1. The server is running linux, a .bat would not work 2. You purchased a pre-configured server which, trust me, is easier in the end 3. Get the ftp info and transfer your: lua folder, gamemode, addons, sv.db, and data folder(s). I recommend to connect to ftp and go through such. You are free to replace any cfg file execpt your mount.cfg as that is something I would recommend you to not touch. You should have a panel to turn the server on and off.

SOLVED But i'm coming from clicking the start.bat to launch my server, how will i start my server, is there something im not understanding or is it permanetly on? without a start.bat
