The SWORD implementation in DSpace will accept two types of deposit: - Full packages (such as example.zip) can be deposit into COLLECTIONS. The packages must contain the metadata (mets.xml) and files in order to create a new ITEM. - Single files can be deposited into existing ITEMS, and the new file will be added to the list of bitstreams. You probably received that error because you were trying to deposit a single file into a COLLECTION, whereas you can only deposit it into an existing ITEM. > How can I write that file? You either have to create them yourself, or look at using a tools such as the PHP SWORD client library (http://github.com/stuartlewis/swordapp-php-library/) which includes a SWAP/METS packager that you can use (http://github.com/stuartlewis/swordapp-php-library/blob/master/packager_mets_swap.php).
