How to upload your publications to our server through Filezilla

Filezilla is both an FTP client and server.

An FTP client is an application that connects to an FTP server to manage and access files. An FTP server is another application -or service- that uses the FTP protocol (File Transfer Protocol) to share files with other users. Access to this server is done by entering certain data necessary for the connection, such as the server address, username and password.

👉If you don't have Filezilla on your computer, you can download it from here . It is a free application.

Write to us at [email protected] to request the credentials corresponding to your store created with publica.la.

It will be similar to the following:

Port: 22
User: tienda-ebooks
Password: bbfd3690-2a8e-4225-a056-000vb0000

2. Click Quickconnect or press Enter to connect to the server.

A window will open with an unknown host key warning, click OK.

3. Once the session has been successfully started, Filezilla will display like this:

As you may have noticed, FileZilla divides its interface into two main columns . On the left " Local site " the local files are shown, from your PC, while on the right

" Remote site " shows the remote files, on the FTP server.

4. To upload the files you can drag them from the column on the left to the one on the right or by double clicking. Doing so will automatically upload to the remote folder that is currently open (the " files " folder in the right column).

Remember to name the files with the ISBN or External ID and drag them to the files folder.

You will be able to see the process at the bottom of the window:

5. When the upload is complete, you can continue with the import by following the steps that we share with you in our article Massive import of publications . Access from here .

⚠️ Keep in mind that the files will remain available in the SFTP for 90 days . After that period, they will be automatically deleted.
