- First from the export machine, goto the the Admin for Magento. Then System / Import-Export / Dataflow-Profiles / Export All Products.
- Then choose Run Profile from the Menu on left.
- This will create a local file on the server usually under /var/export/export_all_products.csv
- Copy this to your import server.
- Zip up your product images under /media/catalog/product
