How to upload file from Linux to Sharepoint using Perl

grao5 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a requirement to programmatically upload a flat file (xyz.txt) that gets generated everyday on a Linux server to Sharepoint.

Please advise how it can be done using Perl on Linux. I could then schedule this script to run as a job everyday at a particular time to automate this process.

Your advise would be much appreciated. Any example code extract would be even more helpful.

thanks

Seems like it would be easier to just create a cron job to schedule a daily `curl` call. To edit your cron jobs, use: `crontab -e`. Adding something like the following should upload your file every morning at 5AM: `00 5 * * * /usr/bin/curl --ntlm -u <your Active-Directory-Domain>/<you +r-domain-username> -T /path/to/xyz.txt http://sharepoint.url.com/doc/ +library/dir/` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Seems as though the "requirement" was probably set by a teacher (and is homework) or by a boss (and is $work). If the former, you won't learn much if we supply the code... and, generally, our charter is to help you learn; not to be code-a-matic. If the latter, the boss should hire a programmer - - i.e. pay for the $work.	[reply]

"...you know which modules can be used?" WWW::Curl which sucks - IMHO. I guess therefore the many hints to call curl directly... Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]

sharepoint is some kind of brandname, I'd try to find out what kind of protocols it uses, then hit up MetaCPAN and CPAN This may be of interest (its all there is, very little) using perl to read in details from a sharepoint site Access sharepoint calendar using LWP to get file names and timestamps from sharepoint Sharepoint Automation?

Microsoft SharePoint® is, of course, a collaboration and versioning product that these days has a lot more to it than just its web interface. Here are a few links that you might find especially useful to get you started: http://shareperl.blogspot.com/2010/01/sharepoint-perl-connection.html http://www.squish.net/log/2008/10/11/perl-sharepoint/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/494120/how-can-i-upload-a-document-to-sharepoint-with-perl http://webdav.org/perldav/ “Perltopus” (at github) http://sharepointconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2011/05/401-unauthorized-error-when-integrate.html (he didn’t fully solve the problem but he talks a lot about what he did) Even though SharePoint has a touchy-feely “I’m a web site” interface, the real meat-and-potatoes guts of the thing is a software service that is most easily accessible using SOAP and DAV. This has been talked-about around here before, too, so use Super Search: Access sharepoint calendar using LWP (several good links from here)	[reply]
