Pre-populating or Bul upload

I have a simple image DB that I will be creating with the following 4 fields:

1. Title
   
2. Category
   
3. Description
   
4. image
   I know I can import an xls/csv with all the data thru PHPMYAdmin and I can FTP all the images to the images/ directory.
   
   So can I populate the DB or bulk upload without having to enter the 1700 images one at a time. Isn't it just a case of knowing what to enter into the 'image' column of the csv before I import?
   Many thanks in advance.
