OsCommerce to Magento Migration : OsCommerce to magento migration is very important concept for every e-commerce developer . Itis a new extension for DataFlow which enables importing your data from osCommerce into your website in Magento. To set up a profile, all Magento needs is information such as the IP/host of your osCommerce DB, user login and name of DB. Magento will take care of the rest. The data Magento supports is the default DB of osCommerce RC2 which includes customers, orders, categories and products in multiple languages.Actually I did
extensive googling but didn't find any good solution :( . So here we go :
1) Get extention key for Mage-Oscommerce from-http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/specs/114/os-commerce-import
2) Install it Using Magento Connect and it is currently available in beta format so check your magento connect settings.
3) Now copy all your product images from oscommerce catalog to
your magento_root/media/import
4) Now go magento admin panel and select system->Import/export->oscommerce
