Before configuring your FTP client to use Libsyn's FTP service, you will need to setup an FTP Password. Details on how to configure an FTP password can be found in our Uploading Using FTP tutorial.
With your FTP Password set, you can configure your WinSCP FTP client. To do so, open WinSCP. A Login window will appear allowing you to configure your FTP session.
File Protocol:
Select FTP.
Encryption:
Select TLS/SSL Explicit Encryption.
Host Name:
ftp-lax.libsyn.com
Port Number:
21 (non-SSL) or 990 (SSL). Your FTP client will likely default to the correct port for you.
Username:
Enter your Libsyn account e-mail address. This is the same e-mail address you use to log in at libsyn.com.
Password:
Enter your Libsyn FTP password. This is not the same password you use to login at libsyn.com, this is the FTP password you set in your user account settings specifically for FTP.
With these settings filled in, hit Save. You will then be asked to Save session as site, name the site and check the box to save your password, then hit OK.
The Libsyn FTP is now setup as saved session and you can connect to it anytime by going to the Session -> Sites -> Libsyn FTP:
Once connected, WinSCP will present you with a list of folders. These folders will be the list of shows (named by your show slug) that your user account has access to.
If you only have one show, that will be the only folder listed.
Browsing into the folder for the show you want to upload content to, you will find four subfolders available. Additional details about what each folder does and how to utilize Libsyn's FTP service can be found in our Uploading Using FTP tutorial.
