AW: AW: [opencms-dev] FYI: importing files is easy with this script

[Simon Wilks]

Thanks Jeroen,

Now it's working. I think it started working when I first opened a new
project in the source opencms system and selected the directory I wanted to
export as the target directory.

If I just exported using the Online project mode it exported OK but could
not import. Whatever.

Thanks again.

Simon
