[ic] uploading excel file in wizard - question not addressed in archives

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Sonjia Murphy)]

Have you tried uploading the file directly to the appropriate directory 
through your control panel (assuming you have one) or FTP?  When I 
update my products spreadsheet, I usually just download 
the "products.txt" file and open it in Excel.  When I am done with the 
changes, I save it in TEXT format and then just upload it to the same 
directory, overwriting the file that's already there.  Of course, I 
make a backup copy of the file before I overwrite it. :)
