It isn't clear from the documentation. I kinda thought I should be able to import from a remote site, and not just the local file system. I am trying to import a cold fusion site on a remote server. I have the source files, but I don't have cold fusion running on the same server as drupal. I have the demo page working (at least the parser works), but when I put http://blumcenter.berkeley.edu/about/ as the import source it tells me it has found 0 total files.

To I just have the configuration wrong, or is this not even something this module is supposed to do?

thanks

It explains how it does NOT go out and spider remote sites at the bottom of the docs somewhere.
This is a time-intensive job which cannot happen via one HTTP pageload, and also really hard to get all the links right.
It is partially supported for the demo for testing convenience, but site-wide relative link relinking is beyond that.

See the walkthrough document included however for a step-by-step example of how to use WGET to grab the files, then point the importer at it for total site conversion, replacing everything inline.
