I can check existence of a database in my cloud instance using stardog admin.

Now I am trying the following:

```auto
stardog-admin --server https://sd-792ca55d.stardog.cloud:5820 -u <user> -p <pass> virtual import --format sms2 cars cars_mappings.sms cars.csv

```

And getting this error:

> Invalid or missing options:  
> Found unexpected global option: server url  
> Type 'help virtual import' for usage information

Is this possible at all?

Hi Radu,

The `-u` and `-p` options need to go after the `virtual import`
