equinux iSale 5.9.7 - Manual (Page 72)

There are several settings to be made, each of which is explained
in detail below.
To upload pictures via FTP, please do the following:
‣ Select iSale 5 > Preferences…, and click Pictures
‣ Switch the Picture Service to “FTP“
‣ Check the box “Supersize Pictures“ if you would like to add extra
large pictures to your new auctions by default
‣ Enter the hostname of your server without specifying the pro-
tocol (ftp://). If your server accepts connections using
ftp://myserver.com
, please enter myserver.com
‣ Specify a port if (and only if) your server does not use the stan-
dard FTP port (21). If in doubt, leave this field blank
‣ Enter the user name for the FTP connection to your server
‣ Enter the password for the user name specified above
‣ Enter the path of the directory where iSale should upload the
pictures to ( without leading slashes). If your pictures should end
up in ftp://myserver.com/eBay/pictures, please
enter eBay/pictures
‣ Enter the “HTTP Picture Path“. This is the public URL where your
auction pictures will be available. It is not part of the FTP set-
tings themselves, but it is necessary to link your auctions to the
pictures on your server. It has to start with “http://”
‣ Click “Test Picture Upload“ to make sure everything is setup cor-
rectly
Some of these settings can be quite confusing, so we’ll include a
step-by-step description of what is tested.
When “Test Picture Upload“ is clicked, this is what happens:
‣ The FTP server is contacted
‣ User name and password are sent
‣ The current directory on the server is changed to the picture
path (e.g. eBay/pictures)
‣ A test file is uploaded
