    FTP Username
    The login name you created for your Google Base FTP account.
    FTP Password
    The password you created for your Google Base FTP account.
    File Name
    The name of the bulk upload file you created on the Google Base site.
    Source Code
    The code used to track incoming sales from the Google Products data feed. You create this code to distinguish Google Products sales from other sales through your storefront.
