Hello, I have followed the youtube tutorials. Butler is working correctly and connect, however, I keep getting that the system cannot find the file specified. The path is copy and pasted directly from the properties of the file. I've been trying for a week now and keep getting this error. Any ideas on what is causing it?

Make sure you wrap your paths in quotes when passing them in as command line arguments. It’s necessary when there’s a space in the path. Hope that helps

getting closer, here is my path butler push "C:\Program Files\Butler\TheMMIDemo icevayne-games/the-mmi-demo:win-64", it is the correct user and game id, so I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It’s kinda hard to tell what you ran from you pasted, but I think you’re mistakenly passing the src and target as a single argument. They are two separate arguments, which means two sets of quotes. (generally, though, quotes are not required for the target because targets will not contain spaces or any other characters that need to be quoted)

If you can share the entire command you’re running along with the error message I can probably point you in the right direction. Thanks


If I only put the "" around the path, it says it cannot locate it, it can only locate it when I enclose the entire command line in quotes. But is looks like it can't find the target page on itch. Thanks for your help with this.

If I only put the “” around the path, it says it cannot locate it,

Then you’re providing the wrong path. Double check to make sure it’s a valid directory. If you want to reply with that command you’re running I can take a look to see if I spot anything wrong.

it can only locate it when I enclose the entire command line in quotes

It’s not finding it, it’s showing you a completely different error message

Here is the file and the path in the command line. I've tried pretty much tried everything but have had no success.

I think the issue is that you don’t have a regular .zip file, but a special Windows folder called a Compressed Folder. From the properties panel in the screenshot I see that there’s no .zip file extension on it, which makes me believe it’s something else.

Butler is designed to work on compressed directories, so if you’re at a loss at what to do, try extracting the folder to a regular folder, and tell butler to work with that.

Thank you. I had the file extensions on my windows hidden so that was the issue Thanks again.
