Easy Populate Remote Images

[CRYSTALDOLL]

I have been thru these forums and can not find a simple answer. Here is my problem.

My supplier does not have cd images or ftp. I was given 1000 urls to pull up each image.

How and where do I configure easy populate to point to these urls?

I know it can be done, I just dont know where to do it. I have alot of images and it would take me months to download them all into my images file. I have read about wget but I simply do not understand that at all.

Can some kind person please please give me an answer.

Thanks...

Because of the way zencart works with product images in a multitude of contexts, it is not possible to reference images on a remote server without some fairly major modifications to the code. You are also vulnerable to that remote server going down, resulting in no images appearing on your site.

If your supplier gives you URLS to their images, then use a SCRAPER TOOL to get them off their server, so that you can FTP them to your server.

I do this with several drop-shipper sites I manage, and the process I use is described in POST 9 of this thread:
