Help with Last Step of Online League Set-Up

Hello all-

I started playing OOTP for the first time this summer and have been having a blast. I recently convinced a friend to give it a shot so we could play each other.

After a huge headache with getting the files to transfer via FTP, we've finally got it working. I think we're close but we have one last OOTP specific question. I have loaded the .ootp17lg and .tar.gz files into the director on the server. I set this up using the "upload league files" option in OOTP through the commissioners panel in the game.

My friend can download these files from the server but when he clicks on the league file it just opens OOTP and our league is not there. Once he has the files, how does he use them to access the league? He can't set the option to download then from the server through OOTP since he cannot access the league itself at this point. I've googled around and searched the forum but have been unable to find a direct answer.

We tried placing the files in his saved games folder but no luck.

After struggling with FTP for the past week and finally getting it to work, we're really excited to start playing. Any help you can give to get two friends started on their OOTP journey is appreciated. Thanks for your time.
