Upload a File

To upload a file from your local computer to sell in your store as a digital download:

1. If you know the pathname of the file that you want to upload, type it in the first box. Otherwise, use the Browse button to navigate to the file.

 

2. If you want to give the file a different file name in your store’s download directory, type the new name in the second box. You can give it a long, descriptive name, but it can't have spaces in the name (use periods or underscores) and it must have the appropriate suffix for its file type.

 

3. Click the Upload File button. The upload process starts and the file is added to your store’s download directory. When the upload completes, you will be back at the Digital Download Files screen, and you will see the new file in the list.

 

Alternate Ways of Uploading Files

The file upload feature is convenient for uploading files one at a time, but FTPing is more convenient for large batches of files. All of your digital download files are stored in the download directory of your store, which you can find in italics at the bottom of the Digital Download Files screen. Ask your host administrator to set up FTP access for you to that directory, and then you can use FTP software to upload several files in one operation.
