OK I am new to working with SHarePoint Services and have an issue that I am trying to overcome. Where I work, I have implemented a Crystal reports Scheduler that outputs the reports to a shared folder. What I am trying to accomplish now is finding a way that I can point the output of the scheduler to the document library. I was hoping that I could find it like any other shared folder.
On your box hosting sharepoint, turn on the WebClient Service.
Goto the library you wish to upload to, drop down on actions-> open in windows explorer
The path you see can be converted to a UNC path, where you can use it like any other shared folder.
To convert, it should look like \\servername\Shared Documents
This unc can be mapped as a shared folder like any other physical networked folders.
Happy Uploading!
If you want to upload the file in your code (not manually) without mounting a WebDAV share, you can also HTTP-PUT it to the desired URL, for example http://myserver/sites/mysite/mysubsite/mylist/myfolder/foo.doc
Try the code in this question: Uploading files to Sharepoint (WSS 3.0) document library using HTTP PUT
With the tip in this answer: Uploading files to Sharepoint (WSS 3.0) document library using HTTP PUT.

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.
My first question on stackoverflow, I hope I am following the rules.
Anyhow, as the title suggests, I need to figure out how to programmatically add pages to a wiki library. I set up upwards of 30,000 rows in Excel, VBA'd them into txt files containing html that portray articles, and now they are sitting in a folder with nowhere to go. They need to go into a wiki library on SharePoint, where they will be referenced by users in their articles. Two parts:
On single-file upload, cannot upload aspx files. I upload as txt or html and it goes fine. Then I try to change them to aspx. Illegal.
Cannot upload more than one file at a time. Once I figure out #1, this will be an issue.
I assumed there must be a way to mimic whatever the "wikification" process is for files programmatically. Microsoft's how-to on file uploading requires a Sharepoint Project, which requires VS Professional and running SharePoint locally. Neither of these is practical.
Thank you and godspeed.
You could write a small Powershell Script or Commandline application for example in C# or VB. Copy your files to the server and execute your script/app on the SharePoint server. Connect to your SharePoint like the following:
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
...
SPSite site = new SPSite("mysiteurl");
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
// your code goes here
web.dispose();
site.dispose();
...
Then get the directory programmatically where your files reside.
If this was successful, loop through all files in your folder and upload them programmatically to the WIKI Library.
Sound complex, but if you search for the single topics, you will find a lot of solutions/code out there.
You could also write a Console Application which can connect remotely to the SharePoint Server without the need to be executed on the SharePoint itself. In this case you would need to use the Client Object Model (CSOM).
The Office 365 Patterns and Practices site is a great reference. It has a comprehensive sample for creating wiki pages using CSOM here
I am trying to copy a selected from from a SharePoint Document List to the servers local drive. But I can not for the life of me find a way to do this within SharePoint 2010 using C# or JavaScript (preferably C#) anywhere. Is this possible? If it is, can anyone provide some pointers that would get me started in the right direction? Thanks!
You can use custom actions to integrate the functionnality to ribbon (see this article).
Once you have added your custom action in the code you can:
If you know a file server relative URL you can get it from the web
SPFile file = YourWebObject.GetFile("FileServerRelativeUrl");
Ones you have your SPFile object you can save it, using .NET IO library, to a disk using
FileStream fileStreamToSave = YourWebObject.OpenBinaryStream();
Than just save it...
IMPORTANT! - You have to give writ access to the folder where you files will be stored.
We are currently implementing MOSS 2007 to replace an older portal system (Plumtree) and are currently looking at searching. We have 1000s of documents on a file server that we would like users to be able to search. This I can set up by adding a content source of "File Shares" and pointing it at the UNC of the file share. The issue is getting access to this data when you are not on the local network.
So, file share is \FileServer01\Files. This has a file called Wibble.txt containing the word Wibble.
When I search for Wibble it finds this document, BUT it points to file:\FileServer01\Files\Wibble.txt.
That is great if I am attached to the network, but what about when I am accessing Sharepoint via the Internet and I'm not on the LAN that knows about that server?
If I wrote something from scratch I would have a download page that I passed in the location of the file and it would stream it to my browser. Sharepoint does not seam to do anything like like.
Ideas? Suggestions? Have I missed something simple?
Create an HttpModule that intercepts requests to documents in this file share, and presents them through an HttpHandler to the user. Deploy the module and handler to the web application.
The only way to make that content accessible via HTTP would be to bring everything off the file server and into the SharePoint content database. You can then simply let SharePoint crawl that instead of the file server; and your users will be able to download content as well.
Edit: To make the migration task quicker and easier, you can ensure that the WebDav service is running on the sharepoint box, which will allow you to open a document library using the windows explorer interface.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to or if it is possible to upload files to a sharepoint (v3/MOSS) document library over FTP. I know it is possible with webdav. If it is possible is this even supported by Microsoft?
I don't think so. I think your options are:
HTTP (via the upload page)
WebDAV
Web Services
The object model
You can map a drive to a SharePoint document library, for example \\serveraddress.domain.com\Documents. So I would try mapping a drive on your FTP server, then making sure files that come in over FTP get sent to that drive.
Big edit: Have any of you figured out how to upload to SharePoint (WSS)? I've tried drive mapping and then using Robocopy and Synctoy to copy files thinking a tool might offer greater control (i.e. a Copy Date Modified control). As I understand it the files are actually stored in SharePoint as database objects and therefore SharePoint views display the database object (SQL object's) properties in Document Libraries where a new user would expect to see the file properties. Those file properties are still alive! They just need to be uncovered by a different view. I particularly like the mapped network drive view of a SharePoint Document Library. File attributes are pretty important to my team, so we were concerned about that at the start. As an opinion note though, the default view showing attributes that appear as incorrect is just plain annoying!
The best solution we've come up with for doing large file migrations into SharePoint is a mapped network drive then using a tool called FreeFileSync available at SourceForge to move your files and folders. It's great because it produces verbose error messages and give a lot of control, especially for the instances that SharePoint tries to block a particular filename or file extension.
Direct FTP into SharePoint is not one of your options. You would need to have a timer job run that checks your FTP directory and uploads into the document library.
Yes it is possible.
The WebDav Redirector allows you to access webdav resources (including Share Point) via UNC path, ie \yourspserver\site\doclib. The IIS FTP server accepts UNC paths as backing storage to virtual directories.
On your ftp server, right click the ftp site in the IIS Manager and select "Add Virtual Directory". Give it a name and specify the sharepoint unc path for the physical path. You'll need to set the "connect as" user to a domain user that has access to the sharepoint folder you're connecting to.
Connect to the ftp folder and you should be able to "cd" into the directory and put/get files without issue (just confirmed it myself). The only caveat is an age old bug/feature of IISFTP, that doesn't show a virtual dir in an ls/dir command listing. The fix is to create a physical folder that mirrors the virtual directory's location. For example, if your ftp root is c:\inetpub\ftproot, then you'll need to create a dir that matches the name of your virtual dir in this location. It will then show up in an ls/dir listing but the cd command will still move into the virtual dir, not the physical dir.
You can directly SFTP/FTP into your SharePoint doc library using Couchdrop. It turns your SharePoint into a native SFTP/FTP server, you can create additional users, etc. Sing out if you need assistance more than happy to assist.
