[Server-devel] How to access site files quickly?

[David Leeming]

List,

Is there a possibility of uploading to Site files in bulk (by administrators
aware of the risks)?

Thanks.

Hi David,

My understanding is that bulk upload is typically discouraged because
each upload needs to have at least one context (context of a course,
assignment, etc) whereas a bulk upload simply throws all files into a
folder. Having said that, here's what I found.
http://www.moodleblog.org/?p=178 Both the video and the comment on
this page points to the same caution of bulk upload. Maybe Martin can
point to something better?

cheers,
Sameer
