We have stored a lot of documents in a file system of a remote machine, hopefully this machine will be in the same network. A document is composed of files and folders with more files in. So the average size of a document is over 4 GB. We have to move this documents from the remote file system to Alfresco. And here is goes my question: What is the best way to accomplish this task?
I am considering:
1. Bulk file system import. Most people suggest to use this tool for my problem but I think it doesn't fit well in my case because Bulk tool works only with documents in the same filesystem where Alfresco is running or the filesystem should be in the same network and be accessible.
2. Upload servlet. I don't know how to use this option I guess it should be by webscript or webservice and so by http and I think that there is a limit in this situation because of the http protocol and also the JVM memory, I don't know. Does the upload webscript example from alfrescowiki use the upload servlet?
3. Set up the ftp server of Alfresco and move the content using a ftp client in the filesystem remote.
I look forward your suggestions,
Thanks.
