The extension enables automatic execution of the adapted module code (compatible with "Task Scheduler API") according to any schedule. By default it includes the following tasks:
- downloading a file from ftp (port 21 only)
- downloading a file from public http/https locations
- requesting any http/https URL (it is useful for executing some 3rd party scripts which are supposed to be calling periodically)

At the present moment, the following extensions support the Task Scheduler API:
1. 'CSV Product Export' module (ver.2.1.0 and higher)
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=5664
2. 'CSV Product Import' module (ver.3.0.0 and higher)

Requirements:
