Not sure what file format to submit a solution in

Hello! I am a Java developer, currently bronze. I have been working off of my own IDE for a bit, just using example code, but haven’t submitted any to the USACO website. I tried to submit a solution for a past problem today, but it gave me errors like “CS90/src/cowsignal.java�RK��0>�_1ʡ�,��V���j�n��U�R+!&ɀc[�T��v��^�}3��cg�?K��j3*$q�eP:�ﳬ�<WL�”#��ӥ��y���^e�X}|�kZM��>E�����!T�y �*��!e f������@�)0hk� ���Z��|��A-�5��l7eETiel���ڑ`���T@"]/�n-�jo�����kYǝ/;E+�8�d��b�n". I’m assuming I am probably using the wrong file format, as it works inside my IDE. There might be an answer, but I haven’t found any and any related topics are kind of not related at the same time. Thanks in advance! (I’ve tried .jar and .zip already, and similar errors).

Thank you! It helped a bit, telling me it was .java, but it took 10 minutes of exporting my code in every possible file format to figure out which one was which haha.
