Windows Live Product Search Contribution Support Thread

I get the Live error 2 out of 3 times - the Goolge uploads all of the time, you just have to keep retrying Live and it will go through or FTP it.

I see Live.com has been updated -- if you FTP then you have to FTP everytime or vice versa
Changes to the upload method for all catalogs: When you create a new catalog, the upload method that you select for that catalog, either HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol. A protocol used to transmit files over the Web.) or FTP (File Transfer Protocol. A fast, high bandwidth method of communicating between two computers.) , can't be changed. When you update a catalog, you must use the same upload method that you used when you first uploaded the catalog. If you have existing catalogs in Product Upload Beta, the last upload method that was used to upload each catalog will be set as the permanent upload method for it.

Yes, the WLPS FTP server falls very short of the capabilities of the Google Base FTP server. Fortunately, Live is so useless for sending traffic that it doesn't really matter.

I just installed Windows Live Product Search Feeder, and I installed the GoogleBase feeder a couple days ago. The problem I am having is both feeds are using my _Lrg images for product images instead of _Med. I do not have _Lrg images for all products as it is actually a "detailed view" of the product if one is needed.

What do I need to change to get this to grab the _Med images instead?

I am really having a difficult time getting this mod to work. I have no issue with generating the file, but I can't seem to be able to ftp the file. I am getting the same error the other users are getting

I was told by my web hosting company if the ftp upload is it browser based, it won't work because anonymous ftp is disabled.

I have your google base, feeder as well as your yahoo feeder installed, I am using the same feeder folder for all, could that also be causing the same issue?
