Question

I'm using the command line import, following info provided here:

How do I import contacts through the command line?

But getting the following error message: Invalid file format for filepath/filename.csv. It must be a valid csv with separator ',' or ';'

My file is a valide csv, downloaded using Google Docs to csv, which has been an acceptable way to create clean csv files. Not sure why the import.php won't accept this file.

Answer 1

I found the problem. My csv file was on a staging server that required a user name and password for access. The error message was misleading, nothing wrong with the csv file. Once I put the file on the server in a place that is not password protected, it worked fine.
