Sending listings

FTP and SFTP

Send REAXML the way you already send it to the portals. No code needed: add ListStream as a portal with the agency's login.

Connection details

Host

feeds.liststream.com.au

Protocols

Explicit FTPS (AUTH TLS) on port 21, passive mode; SFTP on port 22.

Plain FTP

Only if the agency turns it on in its dashboard, using the login name with -plain added. Prefer FTPS or SFTP.

Login

ls- plus the agency's ListStream ID in lower case, with the password from the agency's dashboard (Connections).

Files

Formats

REAXML .xml, or a .zip with the XML and its photos. Photos can also be uploaded as separate files before the XML that names them.

Size

Up to 20 MB per file.

Temporary names

Files ending in .tmp, .part or .filepart are ignored until renamed.

Result

A file is accepted when the upload completes; the agency sees each listing's result in its dashboard. Uploaded files don't stay on the server.

What the file must contain is in REAXML format.
