Bulk Images Using FTP

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

Bulk loading images via FTP is very easy. When bulk loading images via FTP, it's important to understand Your cart uses Product ID as the data key for matching images to a product, therefore all images must have the same name as the Product ID. If they do not, and you don't want to change them manually, we suggest using another method to associate images to a product. The Bulk Images Loader or adding a image when entering a product will work just as well.

Once all the images have the same name as the Product ID, open up your favorite FTP client and login to the server where your cart is located. FTP to the following directory:
 

images/products

 

Upload all images into this directory.

Once complete, login back into the admin area of your cart and run the Thumbnail Generator.

Every time you add images via this method, you will need to generate new thumbnails using the generator.
