Uploads

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 or whenever you generate the feed manually. (see Fig 20.1)

In order for the uploads to work, your server needs to have the cron.php set. Check Installation & upgrades for details.

Check with the marketplace provider if 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.
