I am trying to import my products from a magento site, i used the CSV method but i can't import the images as the URLs end with .php . I get an error that i can't create/upload/rename a .php file to the site. I am about to import about 70,000 products so its impossible for me to download the images manually then upload those to the server. Please help.
3. Open the config.php file and find $config['forbidden_file_extensions'] setting. Comment or remove the 'php' line.
4. Perform the import.
5. Roll back the changes in these 2 files.
If you want to import these images time by time, you need a special script which will get the file content by the URL, save it to the valid image file on server and import from this location (with permitted extension).
Oh, to import in the first case: the link should be in the 'Detailed image' column in csv file
But the matter is that i will need to do this periodically. I have another question dears, can i import 70,000 product through the default admin import CSV or do cs cart have an alternative command or cron import system similar to that on magento's magmi ? as it will maybe get a php timeout block from the server.

Thank you
Can you please help me with this issue, i tried several times to import but it stop at the first 5%. I then tried with 20000 and had the same issue.
Ok dear i will , but i don't know if it would be the long term solution as i need to update those ever 2-3 days. I tried to change safari's timeout but with no luck.
I can only suggest to develop a cron script, which will import the csv file in console mode. But it would be better to develop a modification for this purpose.
For such cases we create a modifications which reload the page after N amount of products is updated (e.g. after each 5000 products). But RAM size on your server should allow to store the whole file in it
