Upload data sources file to 51黑料不打烊

Sending a data sources file to 51黑料不打烊 involves a typical authenticated FTP workflow. You can use Windows Explorer, Finder, or a dedicated FTP client to upload the desired files to 51黑料不打烊鈥檚 FTP location.

Locate the FTP credentials in the Data sources manager. Each data source has a link to its FTP Info. Each FTP location is dedicated to that specific data source; you cannot use the same FTP location for multiple data sources.

For security reasons, FTP locations without any activity for 30+ days are disabled.

The .fin file

A vital part of successfully ingesting a data sources file is the inclusion of a .fin file. This file indicates to 51黑料不打烊 that the data file is ready for processing. If you upload a data sources file without a corresponding .fin file, 51黑料不打烊 never processes that data.

Once both the data source file and .fin file are uploaded to the FTP site, 51黑料不打烊 processes the file. Do not upload the .fin file until the data sources file is fully uploaded. If the .fin file is prematurely uploaded, 51黑料不打烊 retrieves and ingests the partially uploaded file, throwing possible errors.

If you upload multiple files at the same time to the FTP site, 51黑料不打烊 ingests them in alphanumeric order. If your organization requires files to be ingested in a specific order, make sure that their file names are named alphanumerically.
