What is the FTP / FTPS integration?
Plain or TLS-secured (FTPS) file exchange for CSV, JSON, and XML catalog workflows — toggle the SSL option to choose which.
With Product Feed Master, FTP / FTPS becomes a connector you can attach to any feed. You control exactly which products and attributes flow through it, so the data that reaches FTP / FTPS is clean, complete, and formatted correctly.
How Product Feed Master connects to FTP / FTPS
The FTP / FTPS connector is powered by our FTPS connector under the hood, so it inherits the same battle-tested authentication, retry, and scheduling behavior used across the platform.
Because FTP / FTPS supports both directions, you can use it as a source to import products and as a destination to export your mapped catalog — or both at once for true two-way sync.
Why manage your FTP / FTPS feed with Product Feed Master?
Maintaining a FTP / FTPS feed by hand is slow and error-prone. Prices drift out of date, out-of-stock items keep showing, and every channel wants attributes named differently. Product Feed Master solves this by keeping one master catalog and projecting a tailored feed to FTP / FTPS.
You map source fields to the attributes each destination expects, layer on rules to rename, combine, default, or filter values, and schedule automatic re-syncs so the data is never stale.
What you can do with the FTP / FTPS connector
- Import products and attributes from FTP / FTPS into your master feed.
- Export a mapped, channel-ready catalog to FTP / FTPS.
- Map your source fields to the attributes FTP / FTPS expects.
- Transform values with rules: rename, combine, default, format, and filter.
- Exclude out-of-stock or non-compliant products before they reach the channel.
- Schedule automatic re-syncs so your FTP / FTPS feed never goes stale.
How to set up a FTP / FTPS feed
Build your master feed
Create a feed and attach your product sources so Product Feed Master has a single, unified catalog to work from.
Add the FTP / FTPS connector
Create a new channel in Product Feed Master and choose FTP / FTPS. Enter your credentials or endpoint details — the connector handles authentication for you.
Map and transform your fields
Match your catalog attributes to the fields FTP / FTPS expects, then add transformation rules to clean, reformat, or enrich values as needed.
Schedule and sync
Set a sync schedule — hourly, daily, or on demand — and Product Feed Master keeps your FTP / FTPS feed up to date automatically.
