FTP accounts defined here are used to upload the feed file whenever it completes to an account created with a marketplace provider. Uploads happen based on the [Run Schedule](https://wiki.rocketweb.com/books/rocket-shopping-feeds/page/run-schedule) or whenever you [generate the feed](https://wiki.rocketweb.com/books/rocket-shopping-feeds/page/generating-the-feed) manually. (**see Fig 9.0**)

In order for the uploads to work, your server needs to have the cron.php set. Check [Installation & upgrades](https://wiki.rocketweb.com/books/rocket-shopping-feeds/page/installation-upgrades) for details.

Check with the marketplace provider if FTP account is available for uploading the feed file, and if it's not available you can still hand them the file which is web accessible. To create a schedule use the Add Account button and fill in the fields: - **Mode** It is recommended to use SFTP whenever is available. - **Host** Do not put in the protocol prefix, i.e. ftp:// - **Port** For ftp the regular port is 21, if not specified otherwise. - **Username & Password** Is the login for the ftp account. - **Upload Path** This field is only visible for generic feeds, and usually, it is not required. It is the relative path to the directory where the file should be uploaded. Click the Validate button for each account you add, and once the account validates, don't forget to Save Config.
