I use magmi http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=Main_Page - which supports both the image from a URL and the Category Import you are after

Images = http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=Image_attributes_processor

Image Processor accepts URL as valid image location for any type of image (standard or extra) Image processor will download the remote images & put them in the appropriate directory for magento usage.

Example

...,image,media_gallery,.... ....,http://someexternalserver.com/img/myimage.jpg;http://someexternalserver.com/img/extraimage1.jpg::myextralabel;....

Categories = http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=On_the_fly_category_creator/importer

Sample syntax taken from the wiki 

level1/level2/level3;;level1bis/level2bis/level3bis

If you use magmi I recommend you password protect the magmi directory

  • I'm quite sure, that Import/Export supports ONLY that, so you have to use names?
