This small Java program allows you to easily upload many files to a confluence page. Download this jar file. On most operating systems you can execute it simply by double-clicking on the downloaded file. You can also run it from the command line using:
java -jar ConfluenceFileUploaderExecutable.jar
Once you run this file a dialog like this should appear:
Unable to render embedded object: File (CropperCapture\[1\].Png) not found.
Click "Add files" and select the files you want to attach. Then click next and the following dialog should appear:
Unable to render embedded object: File (CropperCapture\[3\].Png) not found.
Click "Add Server" and fill in the dialog with the confluence URL (https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu
) and your confluence username and password.
Unable to render embedded object: File (CropperCapture\[2\].Png) not found.
(On future invocations this information will be remembered and will not have to be reentered).
Security Alert
Make sure you include the 's' in https://, otherwise your username/password may be sent across the network in plain text. Also
Now click next:
Unable to render embedded object: File (CropperCapture\[4\].Png) not found.
Select the confluence space and page that you want to add the attachments to (it must already exist). Click next once more and it should upload and attach all your files.
Unable to render embedded object: File (CropperCapture\[5\].Png) not found.
To Do
- Check if this works using https (I imagine it will require the unlimited strength cryptography extension)
- Find out where it stores the confluence URL (in particular the password)
