Copying Files and Folders from File System (your local machine) to SharePoint 2013 Document Library Using PowerShell.

 Hi All,

Again got a chance to play around Power Shell.
My requirement was to copy Files and Folders(including files) to a SharePoint Document Library.

Snippet File Name : CopyShellScript.ps1
Location of Snippet in C: (C drive )

Parameters:
1.  webUrl - give your web url here
2. docLibraryName - Name of Document Library (e.g. Shared Documents)
3. docLibraryUrlName - URL name of Document Library(e.g. Shared%20Documents)
4. localFolderDataPath - Location of the folder from where you want to copy(local machine path.)


Script Execution:

PS C:\> .\CopyShellScript.ps1 -webUrl "http://yourURL.local" -docLibraryName "TargetLib" -docLibraryUrlName "TargetLib" -localFolderDataPath "C:\temp"


Below is the complete script. Do work around on $localFolderPath if you want to go for Nth level depth. Iam showing here till nesting of folder level 1.


Param(
  [string]$webUrl,
  [string]$docLibraryName,
   [string]$docLibraryUrlName,
  [string]$localFolderDataPath
)
  Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
#Script settings

#Open web and library
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderDataPath)).GetFiles()
copyfileInFolder $files

$Items = Get-ChildItem -Path $localFolderDataPath

# enumerate the items array

foreach ($item in $Items)

{
      # if the item is a directory, then process it.

      if ($item.Attributes -eq "Directory")

      {
          $create_folder = $docLibrary.AddItem("", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder,$item)
          $create_folder.Update();
          Write-Host $item.Name "is created"

          $localFolderPath = $localFolderDataPath+"\"+$item.Name
          $files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()

          copyfileInFolder $files $item

     }
}


function copyfileInFolder
{
$files=$args[0];
$item=$args[1];
   ForEach($file in $files)
  {

    #Open file
    $fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead()

    #Add file
    $folder =  $web.getfolder($docLibraryUrlName+"/"+$item.Name)
    $spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $file.Name, [System.IO.Stream]$fileStream, $true)

    #Close file stream
    $fileStream.Close();
  }
}

#Dispose web

$web.Dispose()
