The Forum
The BFW forum is a good way to distribute small creations, like single multiplayer maps. Larger creations, like unit packs or campaigns, should be compressed before uploading them. Note that you may encounter a size limit on attachments.
The Campaign Server
The campaign server is the preferred way to distribute your creations, but it is more suited for larger projects. It currently lacks advanced organization features such as filtering and reviewing, so adding hundreds of little things makes it harder to find anything. Basically, the server should not be used to post single maps, units, or art, but map packs, campaigns, entire eras, and unit packs are fine.
Anything you distribute on the server will be downloaded to the userdata/data/campaigns directory regardless of what it is.
Instructions
