Ideas for Creating Automatic Upload

[RecLambyUK]

Hi all,

We have a sharepoint system hosting a pretty simple document library between ourselves and an external customer. What I need to do is create something which at set times in the day will look in a shared folder on a windows network. If there are any excel spreadsheets in the folder then to automatically upload them to the sharepoint document library.

Can anybody give me any help here? I could be a hero in the company if I can pull this off!

Regards
Lamby

you could be a hero if you can program a webpart with event handling. =p

Are you saying it cant be done, or that is how you do it?

i don't think it can be done out of the box and would probably be possible with some programming.

Maybe Robocoy could work for what you are trying to accomplish. The link is for the comands and the file can be found here from Microsoft
