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

[David Leeming]

I am sorry, I sent this prematurely. Can I add some clarity

As I understand, OLPC is build on the principle of openness. When the
technology turns on itself and prevents the positive impacts, we must look
again at it.

We have some bona fide requirements to do what I am asking, in real life
situations attempting to build the capacity of national education
departments in my region, and we can't allow the technology to set the
agenda. It should rather enable what we need to do with the skill set/pool
that is available.

The server is nothing without content - and we have to make it easy to share
content (including uploading ad downloading without rigid contextual
frameworks)

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
