How to migrate images to Volusion?

Since Cart2Cart only generates the link to images on the source server but doesn’t actually move them, you will have to transfer images manually. During migration setup, it is recommended to pick the additional option “Preserve product image URLs” to generate image URLs. If this option is unchecked, images will be displayed from your Source store, and when it is down, images will no longer be shown on your Target store. When you’ve selected this option, after migration you have to copy the folder with images from the source shopping cart to Volusion. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Create a new site in FileZilla (File->Site Manager)

2. In the appeared window, select New Site. Name the item “Volusion”

3. Pick the site you’ve created and set up a new connection in the right side of the window.

4. Go to Menu “General”

• Fill in host details.
• Protocol -> FTP - File Transfer Protocol
• Encryption -> Use plain FTP
• Logon Type -> Normal
• Specify user name and password

5. Enter Menu “Transfer Settings”

Transfer mode -> Passive. Save changes

6. In the control panel, choose the site and connect to the server.

7. While connecting, you will be asked to confirm that the server is trusted. Press “Always trust certificate in future sessions” and press OK.

8. Go to the following path: /web/assets/images and upload here the folder with images from the source shopping cart.
