Upload Your Assets

Evolve Image Search requires two types of assets to be uploaded to the system in order to operate.

  1. Product images
  2. Data files that maps products to images

This page documents the general procedure on how to upload files to the Evolve Image Search platform.

Pre-Requisite Software​

In order to connect to the file server, an SFTP client application is needed. You may use any one that you like, but here are some free recommendations:

Procedure​

  1. Using your preferred SFTP client, connect to the Evolve Image Search file server with the following connection information:

    • Protocol: SFTP
    • Hostname: sftp.evolvestorefront.com
    • Port: 22
    • Username: <provided username>
    • Password: <provided password>

  2. Upload your images and data files with any desired directory structure.

tip

While you may upload all your files into a single directory, you will find that a directory structure of product categories will help with organization and file management.

warning

Note that depending on your subscription level, you may be subject to storage space limits. It is your responsibility to ensure old and unused images are removed as necessary to stay within limits and to avoid potential overage charges.
