I wouldn't bother myself. Forge requires you to run their installer What I'd recommend is installing the server on your local machine and then uploading the files to the server using sftp

well, you can DL and run their installer as a jar, if you really want to do it. snipped this from a Dockerfile I wrote a billion years ago, but should give you the gist. They publish jars of their installers so you can automate it if you want. 
# vars
ARG FORGE_INSTALL_URL="https://maven.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.16.5-36.2.34/forge-1.16.5-36.2.34-installer.jar"

# download and run the Forge installer
RUN mkdir -p /installer/server
WORKDIR /installer
RUN curl "${FORGE_INSTALL_URL}" > /installer/forge-installer.jar
WORKDIR /installer/server
RUN java -jar /installer/forge-installer.jar --installServer
# vars
ARG FORGE_INSTALL_URL="https://maven.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.16.5-36.2.34/forge-1.16.5-36.2.34-installer.jar"

# download and run the Forge installer
RUN mkdir -p /installer/server
WORKDIR /installer
RUN curl "${FORGE_INSTALL_URL}" > /installer/forge-installer.jar
WORKDIR /installer/server
RUN java -jar /installer/forge-installer.jar --installServer
that's a specific version of their installer (1.16.5 conveniently, which is probably ancient by this point), so you'll have to dig up the link to whatever installer you want, but you can definitely do it.
