Copy export to destination

You can send a copy of the export file to a custom destination.

We support the following destinations

• WebDAV
• FTP
• SFTP

FTP

To send a copy of the export file to an FTP destination, provide a URL with the username, password, hostname, port number and path

ftp://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{path}

If the connection test fails, be wary of any special characters.

SFTP

To send a copy of the export file to an SFTP destination, provide a URL with the username, password, hostname, port number and path

sftp://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{path}

If the connection test fails, be wary of any special characters.

WebDAV

To send to BigCommerce WebDAV, you will need to find your WebDAV credentials.

Then create a URL that includes your username, password and path to location that you wish to export to within WebDAV:

https://{username}:{password}@{store-domain}/{path}

e.g.

https://username123:[email protected]/dav/content/

If the connection test fails, be wary of any special characters, for example the @ in your WebDAV username. It would need to be replaced with %40 e.g. apps%40hypaapps.com.

Special characters

Note that some special characters need to be replaced for their URL encoded variants when they appear in usernames or passwords.

For example:

• space: %20  or +
• # : %23  (number sign/hash)
• % : %25  (percent sign)
• + : %2B  (plus sign)
• / : %2F  (slash)
• @ : %40  (at sign)
• : : %3A  (colon)
• ; : %3B  (semicolon)

So a username like group/foo would become group%2Ffoo
