Folders upload

[gcorro]

Is there a way to upoad a bunch of files into an space by selecting a folder in the windows explorer?

Uploading one file each time is not a good solution if you have thousands of them to be uploaded.

thanks!

Yes you can use the FTP, CIFS or WebDav interfaces to the repo.

Thanks,

Supose  I have a javadoc zipped, and I upload it in any of the ways you described, later I want to publish the unzipped files so anybody can see them  on the web and browse those files as if they were a normal web instance, or ratter I say as if they were a bunch of static html pages available for anybody.

Is that possible? How can I do that?

Hi,

I think you've got no other easy way than using ftp, cifs or webdav to transfer a folder containing all unzipped filed.

But, you can perhaps do the trick with a custom action or some javascript, to give a folder the ability to transform all your zipped files to an Alfresco space containing the unzipped files.

Anyway, it is yet a lot easier to use webdav, ftp or cifs for transferring a full folder to Alfresco.

A user posted the code of an example unzip custom action to the forums a few weeks back.

What does that mean? where are these interfaces? This applies to ver 2.0. right?  The wiki on import and export didn't make any sense to me - it sounded like it was just talking about importing an exisiting Alfresco configuration to another.  Is it possible to bulk upload a group of, say, Word documents?

I dont understand the answers.

how can I upload an entire folder? or multiple files in one step? Can anybody explain it, please?

Thank you.

The Alfresco repository supports FTP access - you can use an FTP client such as this free one here: http://www.smartftp.com to access folders in the repo and upload (or download) entire folder structures.

You can also use CIFS - this is the name to the network drive interface technology that Alfresco supports - basically you can access Alfresco as a shared network drive - such as \\servername and then copy your files/folders across just like you would using Explorer in windows.

Webdav is another inteface you can access something like this: http://servername:8080/alfresco/webdav - you can map a "web folder" to this address in windows and copy files into that.

>This applies to ver 2.0. right?
These interfaces have been present since 1.1…

Thanks,

Hi,

If you are still unsure about what FTP, CIFS and WebDAV are please use Google to find out more about these standard interfaces…

Thanks.
