Upload a directory tree

mws — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:08:21 GMT

Hi,The documentation only mentions the possibility to upload files and not folders what is perceived as an important lack for users.Could you confirm that there is no way to import directory tree?I have not seen anything about this in the roadmap.RegardsMatthew

You can use use bulk import feature of alfresco where you can create zip file of your folder structure and import that zip file in alfresco.It will crate folder structure and will also upload all the contents residing under those folders.

What you're hitting is browser limitations.

There are a number of other ways to upload directory structures: FTP, WebDAV & CIFS are all suitable options.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for your reply but the solution you mention works only for Alfresco not for the Cloud version of Alfresco, not?

for the Cloud: uploading folders can be done via WebDav only - so if you is premium user - you can do it.

How to configure an account to use FTP protocol for uploading extended directory structure?
I cannot find anything in alfresco cloud docs.

Could anyone help please?

FTP is not exposed on the cloud. Like kalisto says above use WebDav for the cloud.

On premise simply set ftp.enabled=true in alfresco-global.properties
