Need help with ulx forcedownload....tried everything

Hello i just put ulx on our private server and i wanted to force addons and such to client mainly because we would only have few people joining and it would be easier, especially anytime we have to add new addons or props etc...i have definetly searched the forums and found the related subject matter....i have tried SO MANY differnt ways and for some strange reason it doesnt work. If i use for example ulx addForcedDownload "addons/phx" 1 it will show its downloading the files.....and it will start and even sometimes show up in client (my addon folder as i am test) but ALOT of material missing such as lua and materials....i have also done ulx addForcedDownload "garrysmod/phx" 1 and it doesnt work at all. Also tried was adding the addon respectively to corresponding folders in orangebox\garrysmod like materials sounds models lua etc then using ulx addForcedDownload "garrysmod/lua" 1 ulx addForcedDownload "garrysmod/materials" 1 etc etc
this seemed to work again like the ulx addForcedDownload "addons/phx" 1 in which the files showed downloading but could not use in game.....nor could i find it in my client side folder.addons or garrysmod. Running out of idea and i feel like ive missed something important and would appreciate any help that anyone can give me....probly nub mistake im making

You can't do something from the addons directory, you need to do it from garrysmod root. For example, if you have addons/phx/models/someCoolModel.mdl, you'd do "ulx addForcedDownload models/someCoolModel.mdl" (without quotes).

We have a FAQ on this.
http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3072.0.html
There would be no such thing as gmod/phx
As he said, you'd have to use
gmod/materials/<phx?>
gmod/models/<phx?>
Now that being said, you best have a darn fast download server.
If I connect to a server and see I have hundreds of textures/models/sounds, and its going to take longer than a minute (30 seconds on an impatient day), I usually go on to another server.

well thats what im saying this isnt public......the people connecting are peeps i know its just a personal screw around server. i just wanted to make it simple to disperse addons tools etc
you say without quotes......the example in the server.ini showed to use quotes .........
i found the FAQ i tried "ulx addForcedDownload garrysmod/models" 1 same with materials and lua sound etc.....they all seemed to download but could not be used in actual game nor could i find spawn list or locate anything in game nothing was in my client side folders ethier
now what if the materials and models and sound etc folders of the addon have sub folders and such as most of them do...do i have to list every individual vtf vtm mp3 etc file to get it to force download.
server is also sandbox....am i putting things in wrong config file?

Welcome. All new things have a learning curve. Some just longer than others.
I've not checked this thread since both your posts, but I'm glad you figured it out.

me and my buddy didnt realize...that it automatically read any true addon and forced it.......and to make a materials/models/setting into addon we just need an info txt file......kinda like all the info was in front of our face but couldent put it all together and we were SEVERELY overthinking it .... thanks again :>
