Importing CSV and images from local server

Hi All

I’ve got a client who wants to sell items based a locally stored catalogue database. So I was thinking they’d have a script on their local network that every night would export their DB to a CSV and upload it to somewhere on their live site. Then EE would use something like CSVGrab to pull the latest version into a weblog (also overwriting/removing yesterday’s version of each entry). Will that work?

I’m also stuck on is how to get images from their local server onto the live server. Does anyone know of a way that I could also upload every night any new images linked to the DB to the live site, so that the created entries would be able to link to them?

Thanks loads for any help!

[Apologies - just noticed that I put this in Plugins instead of How To - if someone could bump me over that’d be nice!]
