How to Migrate Images to 3DCart After Data Migration?

When performing an eCommerce data migration to 3DCart using Cart2Cart, it's important to understand how images are handled. Cart2Cart doesn't physically move image files during the automated migration process. Instead, it generates links to the images on your source store. To ensure your images remain accessible on your 3DCart store after you shut down your source store, you'll need to manually transfer them to your 3DCart server.

During the migration setup with Cart2Cart, you can select the option to generate image URLs. If you've already completed your migration, follow these steps to copy the image folder from your source shopping cart to 3DCart using an FTP client like FileZilla.

Step-by-Step Guide: Transferring Images to 3DCart via FTP

This detailed instruction outlines how to connect to your 3DCart server and move your images using FileZilla.

1. Create a New Site in FileZilla

Open FileZilla and navigate to File -> Site Manager.

2. Name Your New Site

In the Site Manager window, click the New Site button. Give your site a descriptive name, such as "3DCart."

3. Configure the Connection Settings

Select the newly created site and configure the connection details on the right side of the window.

4. General Settings

Go to the General menu and fill in the following details:

• Host: Your 3DCart store's FTP host address (provided by 3DCart)
• Protocol: FTP - File Transfer Protocol
• Encryption: Require implicit FTP over TLS
• Logon Type: Normal
• User: Your 3DCart FTP username (provided by 3DCart)
• Password: Your 3DCart FTP password (provided by 3DCart)
• Port: 990

5. Transfer Settings

Navigate to the Transfer Settings menu and set the Transfer mode to Passive.

6. Save and Connect

Click OK to save the changes.

7. Connect to the Server

In the FileZilla control panel, select your newly created site and click Connect to connect to the 3DCart server.

8. Trust the Certificate

During the connection process, you may be prompted to confirm that the server is trusted. Check the box labeled Always trust certificate in future sessions and click OK.

9. Navigate to the Images Directory

In the right pane of FileZilla, you'll see the folder structure of your 3DCart server.

10. Upload Your Images

Navigate to the following path: /web/assets/images. Upload the folder containing your images from your source shopping cart to this directory. For example, in Magento, this folder is typically called "media."

By following these steps, you can ensure that all your product and other images are properly transferred to your 3DCart store, maintaining a seamless customer experience after your eCommerce data migration.
