How to Upload File to Sharepoint Via Commandline?

Question

Salvete! How can I, from the commandline, upload a file to a document library? Now, I found davcopy, which works, sort of. I can only upload the file using my domain account that I am already logged in with. If I give credentials (even my own!) the fail.

But I am not attached to davcopy. Maybe there is another way to do this from the commandline? I do want to avoid powershell, because I need to provide a way for this to be done to certain users who don't have powershell.

I am thinking it could be done using some sort of dav service.

Answer 1

Believe it or not, you can use Windows net use to map a sharepoint library to a drive letter! Then you can use plain old copy or xcopy or whatever.

net use r: https://some.portal.org/documents [password] user:domainName\[username]
copy c:\somefile.txt r:\somefile.txt

Here is where I found that answer. I've done this, and it works like a charm. You can even specify whatever credentials you like, too.

Answer 2

you can also just call the DavWWWRoot as well.

so your url to your library is something like http://sharepoint/Site/SubSite/Library

your copy command would be copy somefile.txt \\sharepoint\DavWWWRoot\Site\SubSite\Library

Should work like a charm.

Edit. You will have to have at least one active File Explorer Connection to somewhere for this to work.

NET USE http://sharepoint REM Change to the source folder C: CD \SourceFolder REM Copy the files REM where C:\SourceFolder is the source folder REM and S:\destinationFolder is destination on SharePoint.
