\# Uploading a file Using the terminal, you can upload a file via \[SFTP Console\](https://www.mercadopago.com.mx/developers/en/docs/links-and-debts/integration-configuration/upload#bookmark\_consola\_sftp) or \[SFTP batch scripting\](https://www.mercadopago.com.mx/developers/en/docs/links-and-debts/integration-configuration/upload#bookmark\_sftp\_batch\_scripting). SFTP Console is suitable for manual use but not for automations. For automations, use SFTP batch scripting, which requires the creation of a script where each line represents an SFTP command. > We recommend avoiding uploading files with the same name, as this could trigger a reprocessing. As a best practice, and to facilitate the identification of input and output files, it is suggested to add a timestamp at the end of the file name. ## SFTP console Using the code below as an example, follow the steps to upload a file using the SFTP console. \`\`\`terminal UY0FVFGW103Q05P: \~ user$ sftp pg\_sap@sftp-qa.mercadolibre.io Connected to sftp-mercadolibre.io. sftp> ls selfserviceinput selfserviceoutput sftp> cd selfserviceinput sftp> ls sftp> put / Users/user/debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv Uploading /Users/user/debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv to /selfserviceinput/debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv /Users/user/debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv sftp> ls debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv sftp> bye \`\`\` 1\. Log in to SFTP to open the SFTP console, as indicated in line 1 of the code. 2\. Access the 'selfserviceinput' folder, as indicated in line 5 of the code. 3\. List the contents with the \`ls\` command, as indicated in line 6 of the code (optional, only for review before uploading a file). 4\. Upload the file using the command \`put ${absolutePathFileName}\`, as indicated in line 7 of the code, which can be the relative path. 5\. Verify that it has been uploaded, as indicated in line 10 of the code. 6\. Exit the SFTP console, as indicated in line 12\. ## SFTP batch scripting The commands from the previous example in the console, for batch scripting, would be as follows: \`\`\`terminal ls cd selfserviceinput put /Users/user/debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv ls bye \`\`\` The SFTP script is executed with the following command, where \`batch\_script\_file\_name\` is the name of the file with the SFTP commands. \`\`\` shell> sftp -b batch\_script\_file\_name username@sftp.mercadolibre.io \`\`\` > NOTE > > Note > > In this example, the default name and directory are used when generating the \`ssh-rsa\` key. Otherwise, the \`-i\` parameter should be used. This is the result of the batch execution: \`\`\`terminal UY0FVGW103Q0SP: \~ user$ sftp -b upload\_sftp\_script pg\_sap@sftp-qa.mercadolibre.io sftp> ls selfserviceinput selfserviceoutput sftp> cd selfserviceinput sftp> put /Users/user/debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv sftp> ls debt\_589\_6\_20230804.csv sftp> bye UY0FVFGW103Q05P:\~ user$ \`\`\`
