I am getting an error while importing CSV in Magento 2.2:
"Imported resource (image) could not be downloaded from external resource due to timeout or access permissions in row(s): 4".
I tried all the solutions and also checked the folder permission (755). All the images are uploaded in /pub/media/import folder and in the CSV.
I just mention the name of the images.
The error is saying that the image file referenced in row 5 (it says row 4, but that is the last successful imported row before the error) is missing or the spelling is incorrect. The import process cannot find the image at that location. If you remove the image name referenced in row 5, save, and then rerun the import, you should see several more rows imported until the next missing named file.
if anyone still facing the same problem on magento 2.3.3:
Solution: Product images has to be placed under Magento Root Folder>var>import>images
so, upload all product images into this location and at import screen leave blank the
Images Files Directory
in your csv file under base_image and other image columns, only use the image name like AKTHY09.jpg and dont use relative paths with http or /../
hope this helps someone who is on CE 2.3.3
If you have placed your images inside the /pub/media/import folder then you don't need to type the path in the CSV just add the image name and try to import. I had the same problem and today it worked for me hope it work for you also.
On Magento 2.2, I guess we need to use /pub/media/import folder with right permission/file ownership and on Import page to point to /pub/media/import in "Images file directory".
I have figured out now that on Magento 2.3.3 we dont need to enter a path while Magento 2.3.3 is pointing images folder as "var/import/images" by default. If you leave "Images file directory" import page blank/empty, then it works!
Below Link will help you to figure out:
https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/system/data-import-product-images.html
Instead of using /pub/media/import try this, create a folder called temp inside var folder and put all of your images there and use var/temp while import csv
Remove the path name from my CSV file and just have the image path as image.jpg with no slashes.
This is more likely to be a file/folder permission issue, creating a folder in var/temp solved my problem.
Just double check if images are there in your import folder any other from which you are uploading images.
