you can use FTP

Hello..

Thank you for your prompt response. I did try to copy bulk files/folders using FTP but I keep getting the following error message "an error occured coping a file to the ftp server.Make sure you have permission to put files on the server.
DETAILS
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another processed."

I am actually using the admin account to copy.

Thank you in advance.

depending on how you have it configured you should be able to use CIFS, webdav, sharepoint, ftp or nsf

i would guess cifs is your best bet but you will have to configure the server name and verify the authentication/security type is either alfresco or enterprise depending on which version of alfresco you are using

I believe it is 3 lines of configuration.

I have noticed alfresco can get a touch unstable when moving many many small files but even local usb drives do the same thing. 

I would probably suggest smaller chunks at a time
