UPLOAD FILES

This is where you can upload your catalog (Catalog_Web.txt in your My Documents folder created by A.A.I.N software).

Once the catalog is uploaded you may upload up to 4 images per Item Number and you can upload these images for up to 10 Item Numbers at a time. Enter the Item Number in the space provided and browse your local storage device (floppy, memory stick, CD, DVD, hard disk, etc) for the images associated with this item. Images must be less than 100K and raw photos are inappropriate for two reasons: 1) wrong filetype and 2) too large. You must make sure your images are web-ready and the smaller the file size the better for all concerned.

If you specify an item Number that is not in your catalog yet and/or try to upload an image that is too big or the wrong file type, you wont know until you get a response from the server which may take a while depending on the speed of your internet connection. Try uploading one or two images at first before trying 40 images at once.

Images that are associated with Item Numbers not included in the most recent Catalog Upload will be deleted from the server. Images that are uploaded will replace previously uploaded images. Uploaded images are located at http://www.mall-central.com/mls-images/XXXX/ where XXXX is your Account Number. If you think old images are not being deleted as described it is because this is in BETA testing.

There are two special images that you may upload which are related to your catalog layout: 1) Logo Image and 2) Background Image. These can be deleted by checking the box and clicking on Upload Files.

Dont forget to always enter your Account Password for vcheck before clicking Upload Files.
