* Import using this command:


  curl -k -u admin@example.com:admin_pass --upload-file /tmp/contact.csv https://localhost:7071/home/user@example.com/Contacts?fmt=csv
  curl -k -u admin@example.com:admin_pass --upload-file /tmp/contact.csv https://localhost:7071/home/user@example.com/Contacts?fmt=csv




Using the above command, the admin can import contacts for all users. Just change 'user@example.com' to the relevant user's address. If you're using a valid SSL certificate, '-k' can be omitted.
