Jetty deploy war file (Automatic Deployment is not working)

this is my first time deploying a war File to a Jetty Server via SCP+SSH and I'm not able to get it to work.

I made a proper .war file with Eclipse (but I also tested the same things I'm going to mention with a example .war file) and copied the file to the folder /jetty/webapps/ROOT. Now when I restart Jetty and try to get on the server (I tried Serveradress/WarFilename/ aswell) I get to a Directory Path and I'm able to download the war file but nothing else.

I also tried to copy the war file to the webapps folder itself instead of webapps/ROOT. What am I doing wrong?

The directory ${jetty.base}/webapps/ROOT/ is for exploded webapps, or static resource deployments.

If you want to serve your war file, say myapp.war on the root context "/", then copy it to the file ${jetty.base}/webapps/ROOT.war

Note: if you are copying the file into the jetty-distribution/webapps/ you are doing it wrong, go read up on how ${jetty.base} and ${jetty.home} work.
