Hello Asep,

Lots of users work with Linkshare feeds - you should find access to the feed URLs via an FTP server accessed using your Linkshare username / password similar to the format:

ftp://username:password@aftp.linksynergy.com/filename.xml.gz

That is the standard format for including credentials with an "ftp" URL, which you can use as the URL parameter for an Automation Tool job.

However, it is possible that your password contains characters that must be URL encoded when used in this way, and you can find a table of such characters and the encoded replacement to use in this comment...

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
