Eligible file locations

Google Manufacturer Center supports scheduled fetches uploads using the http, https, ftp, or sftp protocols.

• If you’re submitting via the "ftp", "http", or "https" protocols, keep in mind that username and password are optional fields and should be left empty if no username or password is required.
• If you’re submitting via the "sftp" protocol, the username and password fields are required.
• If you’re setting up a scheduled fetch within Manufacturer Center, you cannot use Google’s SFTP Server (sftp://partnerupload.google.com) as your feed URL.
