Trying to upload images via CSV and getting an error

Question

I'm trying to upload 1800 products using Magento import. I'm not running into any issues aside from the images. When I try to upload them I get an error:

Imported resource (image) could not be downloaded from external resource due to >timeout or access permissions in row(s)

I searched this error and found it asked before but only in regards to images imported internally from media/import and not from external links. I've narrowed down the issue to images coming from an https URL rather than http. When I import an image using http it doesn't seem to have the same problem. The issue I face is that these images are coming from our ERP system and thus are only available using https.

Anyone have suggestions?

Answer 1

Imported resource (image) could not be downloaded from external resource due to >timeout or access permissions in row(s)

This error is thrown when the image is not found in pub/media/import folder.

Magento Import might have given you the row number on which the image is incorrect. Check the next row of row number noted, search the image in pub/media/import folder.
