Please use CMIS to do this. Here is a project with some sample code:

Jeff,
I was wondering if there is any bulk upload capability using CMIS or public api, similar to the bulk upload tool that can be used In-Process only? The above file loader example reads files from the local folder, iterates over each file and still uploads it one by one instead of bulk. I am looking for something similar to the programmatic approach mentioned at link https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Bulk_Importer but using CMIS. Thanks in advance.

I do not know of one. The reason why people prefer to use the Bulk File System Import Tool (BFSIT) is because it is much, much faster than making the network calls over HTTP, which is what you would be doing if you used CMIS.

Still, if performance is not a concern you could always write your own bulk loader using CMIS.
