I have a question about the large file importing feature described here in the manual:
 
 
 
From version 3.1 the possibility to import large files has been also added. The procedure of importing is the following:
 
1. Upload a file with products to a web server using some FTP program.
 
2. Specify the full path to the CSV file containing the data and specify its format. Then click the Upload button. The system supports three file formats: delimited by comma, delimited by tab and delimited by semicolon.
 
Note: For large files please specify the path to the large file in the second field 'Or please specify path to your CSV file and press the ''Continue' button'.
 
3. Click either the 'Upload' button (for small files) or 'Continue' button (for large files). You will see two columns where you have to match the values in your CSV file with the database ones. If you have already imported some data, you can use the previous settings (tick off the 'You can match the columns with previous import by ticking this checkbox' check box).
 
I have uploaded my CSV file to my web site. It’s about 30 MB. It’s located at http://www.charactercomputing.com/upload.csv and comes up fine if you enter it in a normal browser.
 
But when I enter this URL in the 2nd box for import, I get a “This file doesn’t exist” error.
 
Any suggestions?

Try to use local server path like
/some_server_dir/upload.csv

thanks! I found how to do it, thanks to your tip. For the location I had it stored in (the root directory of the same server), the correct path turned out to be:
 
"../upload.csv" (not including the quotation marks, of course)
 
Thanks again!
