Setting up source as FTP for Offline Conversion API

Prerequisites:

  4. Choose the data entity as Offline Events.

  5. Once done, provide the file source name.
  6. In order to setup the connection successfully, kindly download the file, which will help you understand the overall structure in which you need to get the data setup. Once done, take the downloaded file set-up in an FTP location and add credentials in the next step.

  3. FTP Username/Password: Your FTP credentials, usually they’re the same as your cPanel login details.
  4. Relative path to data folder: A path like prefix name where you have stored the files in the FTP folder like myfolder/thistable.Once all the credentials are provided, Datahash will validate the credentials, after which the connection will be successfully setup – if all the credentials are valid.
  5. Once done, click Finish to complete the setup.
  6. You can see the connected instance in the dashboard.  
  7.  You can access the set-up again by clicking on the edit button in the Files FTP connector widget.
