Is there a way to copy SharePoint document library files to SFTP? I tried opening windows Explorer (with the help of swich) for SFTP and also had library opened in explorer mode. I can drag hand full of documents and move a across. but I can't copy 50,000 items from the document library to sftp. I tried copy and paste and nothing happens. May be a powershell way? or any other way?
Actually, I solved the problem with non-coding approach.
Mapped "\intranet.domain.com\siteCollection\DocumentLibrary" to S:
Used WinSCP to upload Y: to Remove ftp.
Thanks

You can use the Open with Explorer function to open the document library in Windows Explorer, where you can select all the files you want and simply copy them to your destination. Note that this function only works in Internet Explorer, not in Edge or any other browser. There are ways to make it kind of work in modern browsers, but that requires custom code. You can, however, save the location of the document library to the Quick access list to make it easier to find.
Another option seems to be the SharePoint Bulk File Download web part, but I believe this is a paid tool that must be purchased after the trial.
I use Open with Explorer all the time, but I have never tried the mentioned web part.
I have uploaded an excel workbook we constantly update to SharePoint for coworkers to view remotely as it has information they need. Would I have to delete and replace the workbook every time we make a change or is there a way that the workbook in SharePoint can automatically update with changes we make to the original which is on a Y drive? Thank you for any assistance.
When using SharePoint I find that there's an option to view the files in a document library using Windows Explorer. When you do that you can get the path out of the address bar and use that to update the file instead of the 'Y' drive. Benefit being you could also turn on version history in SharePoint then whenever anyone uploads a new version you can go to the past versions through SharePoint.
If your users don't all have access to SharePoint you could drag and drop from the Y drive to the address from the 'View in Windows Explorer' link or even automate it by writing a DOS batch job using the COPY command to copy the file over. Then you can use windows task scheduler to run the .BAT file however often you want.
Hope that helps!
I want to download all the files that are under:
http://sharepoint.company.com/sites/Some Site/Some Directory
to a local directory with vba and excel. I found another question and their answers were saying that I need to map this directory to a drive but I am not able to do so. I know how to download a file from that directory if I know the name of the file but I can't download the whole directory.
Is there a way of doing that?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, the WebDAV (Explorer view) interface is not usable by the normal FileSystemObject
See this similar question

An interesting take on the solution.
I've been researching this for a bit and I've found that copying a Sharepoint folder doesn't actually keep the permissions intact.
I've tried mapping the Sharepoint folder to X:\ and then using Robocopy with this command:
Robocopy "X:\SharepointFolder\Bob Dylan" "X:\SharepointFolder\John Lennon" /E /SEC
This copies the folders, but the permissions isn't kept anyway. Actually I get this error message in the cmd window saying
New Dir 0 X:\SharepointFolder\Bob Dylan\Documents\
2011/06/01 11:32:28 ERROR 1 (0x00000001) Copying NTFS Security to Destination Di
rectory X:\SharepointFolder\Bob Dylan\Documents\
Incorrect function.
The thing is, is my syntax incorrect or is it impossible to copy folder permissions in SharePoint?
Copying a folder via WebDAV won't copy any meta data set on the folder. Therefor permissions won't be copied as well.
If you have the Publishing Features turned on, check out the Manage Content and Structure Report. I think it will allow you to move things around within a site collection and perserve your metadata and security.
I had this exact same error. I was using mapped drives to copy data to SharePoint. I found that my xml file on the SharePoint mapped drive (destination) was applied with encryption attributes recently applied to my pc (source).
I am still looking for a way to use robocopy or powershell to remove the encryption from the destination file programatically.
To manually remove the attribute, navigate to the mapped drive, go to properties of the xml file, at the bottom in Attributes click Advanced, uncheck 'Encrypt contents..', apply.
(**For those not sure how to see the attributes)
Open explorer for your mapped drive, on the column header bar right click and choose attributes. You can see the security applied. E is encryption.
I am in developing small Batch File to get Access Control List based on CMD
net user USERID /domain [enter]
I am welcome to everybody have idea to APPLY access permission of SharePoint within CMD. Thank you in advanced. :)
I hope someone has met this need before. I got quite a bunch of documents in a Sharepoint site. And I want to download all the docs as a whole instead of one by one. I have tried the Teleport Pro but it just said HTTP 401 Unauthorized error. Is there any way to download the whole Sharepoint document-sharing site?
Many thanks.
If you have WebDav enabled, you can just open your sharepoint site as network folder and copy paste the documents into your local hard drive.

You can use DMS-Shuttle for SharePoint for this purpose. With one drag & drop (or CTRL+C, CTRL+V ) you can download a document library or the whole site with all subsites and document libraries. You can define different filters (by modified date, size or file extension). There is a Trial Version here.
