Uploading Content

Artists have two ways to upload content:

  2. SFTP – Upload multiple files to the server at the same time.

Regarding SFTP, please note:

  • All files in an Artist’s SFTP account are automatically removed after 90 days to ensure sufficient space on the SFTP servers.

  • The SFTP system is not intended to be used as long-term file storage.

  • We recommend using the free version of FileZilla for SFTP uploads.
