Or stream content into alfresco.

In fact use any of the remote interfaces except for Web Services which, as you have found, can't cope with large files.

mabayona, thanks for the valuable input & reference that you've shared. I'll look into it and see if that fits my needs.

mrogers, would you be able to provide a reference or few lines of the API that do this. I'm looking for some sample code that can get me started.

Thanks again people.
