Hi, I'm looking for a possibility to load a lot of (>50) small files or just some big (>1 GB) files into an Item of DSpace. Loading them using a HTML form is not a good solution for both cases. Does one had the same problem already? Does anyone knows a solution for this?
The best idea I had yet is to setup an ftp server on the same* server DSpace is running. When a user wants to publish data into DSpace he/she can either upload files using the web interface or may choose files out of his/her user folder on the ftp server. DSpace then uses these files as if they had been uploaded by the web interface. Before I start to write code I would like to know if anyone else has done something similarly or has a better idea for the problem mentioned above? Of course I won't use unencrypted ftp, but for the DSpace part it is not important if the files where uploaded using sftp or ftp-ssl. We are still setting up our DSpace repository, currently we are running tests using DSpace 3.1 and XMLUI. Regards, Pascal Becker *Either the ftp server and DSpace runs on the same machine or both uses the same network storage so that DSpace can read the files uploaded using the ftp server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
