Research direction

Start by checking the ComfyUI server’s model download settings and the shared model folder YAML configuration; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Reproduce a model download from the Ubuntu server and inspect where it is saved, then check whether the YAML paths are loaded. Done means downloads go to the configured server model folder and the shared folder is recognized.

Your question

Brand new install of ComfyUI on Ubuntu, git version. I have an issue where trying to download models will try and download to my local downloads folder instead of downloading into the proper folder on the ubuntu server. I got custom nodes to download in the correct folder but models refuse to download in the models folder for some reason. Also, it seems like shared model folder (yaml setup) isn't working either. What is going on? What should I investigate? Google AI sucks and makes me try to do things that make no sense. Please help! Even when remotely connecting to the server from a Comfy Desktop on windows box isn't working... it's got to be some little setting that I missed.
