Uploading unusually large files into Alfresco

[phani_av]

Hello,

My requirement is to upload unusually large files ( > 500MB) into Alfresco repository programatically, and I wanted to know the best way and some sample code around this.

I've tried the Webservices repository APIs, and they miserably fail for any file more than 10-12 MB.
My upload client sits on one machine, and the Alfresco server/repository sit on another machine accessible over network.
I would really appreciate if someone can provide some sample code of how to do this effeciently using Alfresco. I know there could be other ways of doing it, but I'm completely clueless around it.

Thanks in advance for any input that you all can provide.

Regards,
Phani

Use Alfresco´s FTP interface. Easy to use, efficient and without timeouts.

Or stream content into alfresco.

In fact use any of the remote interfaces except for Web Services which, as you have found, can't cope with large files.

mabayona, thanks for the valuable input & reference that you've shared. I'll look into it and see if that fits my needs.

mrogers, would you be able to provide a reference or few lines of the API that do this. I'm looking for some sample code that can get me started.

Thanks again people.
