This page allows you to export your product catalog to a file in the format that Froogle is able to understand - tab-delimited plain text. You can choose to export and upload to Froogle instantly or to download the file to your computer and upload it later manually. For more details on how to perform a manual upload please consult http://base.google.com/base/help/upload_instructions.html.

During the uploading process the following errors may be displayed:

1. FAILED: unable to connect to hedwig.google.com - connection cannot be established, probably the information you entered on the module settings page is not correct.

2. FAILED: FTP extension not found! - wrong PHP settings - PHP was installed without "--enable-ftp" option.

3. FAILED: write failed for _filename_ - the problem on the remote FTP server - it is impossible to overwrite the imported file. After you upload your bulk upload, you will not be able to immediately send another bulk upload. If you try and get a "permission denied" or "cannot overwrite" error, wait a few hours before trying to upload the file again.

4. FAILED: invalid login/password - the module settings are wrong.

5. FAILED: unable to upload file - the connection is established, but for some reason the file cannot be uploaded.
