The feed should be in CSV format (Speak to your account manager for other formats) and can be gzipped if required.

Is this the right FTP software and how?
thanks in advance to anybody who can help
Sounds like you need FTP server software, and not FTP client software (which WinSCP is). I'm using TitanFTP Server; it's not cheap, but best in the industry in terms of ease of use, protocol support, and integration with ADS. If you're looking for something free you might try FileZilla FTP server. WinSCP can connect to both of these server types as well as a wide range of others (basically any FTP, FTPS, or SFTP server).
