FTP Basics

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.

What does that mean to me? 

Connexity lists your products on our sites and partners to help you acquire more traffic and buyers. FTP is the method that you will use to send us your product listing information such as product name, description, image, price, and tracking link. You will save this data in a text file that we call a data feed and use the FTP method to upload the information into the Connexity system.

Where do I get an FTP? 

In order to update your feed from your FTP location, you must first download an FTP client. There are many free FTP programs such as Filezilla which you can download here: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
