How to Export with FTP Servers

Picvario can be integrated with an FTP server both to retrieve assets from FTP and, in turn, to export assets from Picvario to an FTP server.

It is possible to export single assets or multiple assets to a server in a few clicks, once you have set the parameters for the required FTP.

Integration is possible with several FTPs at once.

The export is started from the user interface, while the integration with servers is configured in the admin panel.

All the servers added through the admin panel will be displayed in the user interface.

   When exporting assets to an FTP server, the asset metadata will be recorded inside the asset binary file according to the preconfigured template. Read more about metadata export templates here
