I'm not so superb about webserver > webserver file transfer. could anyone include this in the module?

Hi walktalker,
Thanks for your interest in wordpress import.
Your code is a nice workaround, but I'm afraid it isn't robust enough to be integrated into the module. If a post contains the phrase "Wordpress stores its files in the directory /wp-content/uploads", it will be replaced by "Wordpress stores its files in the directory /sites/example/files/images". Furthermore, I think a better approach would be to create a customisable filter, so that the original content won't be changed and we will be able to support special cases, for example a drupal installed in a subdirectory.

I agree with you. I never think to write a module would be that hard... ^.^
Anyway, this is my 1st trial to work around a module. I'd need to learn more about creating a form to gather more var.

Fetching post images is implemented using cURL in 6.x-2.x-dev, removing need to manually transfer files. However, other types of content aren't transferred, though a similar approach could eventually be used for attachements.
