Adding Images via FTP

Step 1: Preparing your images for upload 

To use the IXO images CSV upload your image files are required to be in a single folder, it is also recommended that you name your image files as the product SKU to make Step 2 easier.

Step 2: Creating the images CSV file 

Fill out the example images CSV file provided by Iconography along with this guide as per the example line in the CSV. 

Ensure the “image” field is filled with the file name and file type (png or jpg) exactly as it is in the folder you prepared in Step 1. 

Step 3: Uploading your images 

Upon opening FileZilla (free to download if not already using this system https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client) you’ll see this screen. 

 

The login fields are at the top to enter the details provided by Iconography along with this guide (contact us if you do not have logins). 

 

After clicking Quickconnect, you’ll get this window and you just need to click ‘OK’ to confirm you trust the connection. 

 

 
You’ll then be logged in and can see any image files already on the server on the bottom right box and files on your computer bottom left box. 

 

Next in the bottom left box navigate to the folder you prepared in Step 1 on your computer. Then select all the images you’d like to upload and drag them into the bottom right box. 

In the bottom window it will give you an overview of the progress of the file transfer.

Upload your CSV via the CMS.
