OK, Here's what I have...

To copy images off remote website:-

The method is crude, but works. You first need to download a little free tool, the iOpus Downloader from here: http://www.iopus.com/freeware/downloader/

That's the meat of it.

Next we need to automate the download, so first we need to create some files containing the urls of the images we want. Use the spreadsheet from the supplier website, remember to deleted the items you don’t want to sell.

Copy the column that contains the image links and paste this into notepad.

You'll need to split this list up into smaller files, as there is a limit to what the XP command line can cope with. Keep the files to under 20KB if possible.

Now you have the downloader program, plus a few text files containing urls, one per line.

In notepad create batch files (xxxxx.bat)
(Name your .bat file any name you want - such as getpics.bat) containing just this line of code:

FOR /f %%a in (products.txt) do Downloader.exe -download %%a


. . . where products.txt is the file containing the urls we created above (so different in each batch file, e.g. products1.txt etc.).


All that's left to do is run the batch file - changing product.txt to product1.txt, product2.txt to grab the images in each list, and it will go off and download the images!

You RUN the BAT file(s) by using "Run" under your windows START menu.

If some of the image files are missing, the downloader sits doing nothing. Just click the cancel button in the dialog box and it'll continue with the next image.
