FTP upload method

IMPORTANT

Please note that the FTP upload method is only available to contributors who have published at least 500 files.

Additionally, files can remain in the FTP for a maximum of 6 months without being uploaded to the contributor panel.

To upload files using the FTP method, follow these steps:

1. Download and install an FTP client

To upload your files via FTP, you can install FTP clients such as Filezilla.

Download Filezilla.

2. Access your FTP credentials

Once you’ve uploaded your files to your server, click Get password to copy your FTP password.

Your Port and FTP User are displayed in this section, and you can then use them along with the copied password to synchronize via the Synchronize FTP button.

Open Filezilla or a program of your choice and enter your FTP username, password, and host details.

3. Upload your files

Once logged in, drag and drop the vector/photo files you want to upload.

To add metadata to your files, you can upload a CSV file or add keywords directly from the Upload section of your contributor panel.
