# Upload Files to the FTP Server

You can use the `insert` fetch action to upload files to the FTP server.

The user account that you use to upload the file must have write permission for the destination folder.

To use the `insert` action, you must construct some XML that specifies the file to add, and where to insert the file:

    <insertXML>
       <insert>
         <reference>/incoming/my_file.zip</reference>
         <file>
           <type>file</type>
           <displayname>my_file.zip</displayname>
           <content>c:\folder\my_file.zip</content>
         </file>
       </insert>
     </insertXML>

The `reference` element specifies the destination path for the file on the FTP server.

The `file` element specifies the file to insert. For more information about how you can specify the file, refer to the documentation for the `insert` action in the FTP Connector Reference.

Add the XML to the `insert` action as the value of the `insertXML` action parameter. You must URL-encode the XML before adding it to the request:

    http://host:port/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Insert
                                 &ConfigSection=MyTask
                                 &InsertXML=URL-encoded-InsertXML
