Adding file to WSS 3.0 document library without GUI

Question

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.

Answer 1

1) On your box hosting sharepoint, turn on the WebClient Service.

2) Goto the library you wish to upload to, drop down on actions-> open in windows explorer

3) The path you see can be converted to a UNC path, where you can use it like any other shared folder.

3a) To convert, it should look like \\servername\Shared Documents
3b) This unc can be mapped as a shared folder like any other physical networked folders.

4) Happy Uploading!

Answer 2

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
