Import Directory To Seafile

Since seafile 5.1.3 pro edition, we support importing a local directory on the server to seafile. It’s a handy tool for the system admin to import files from existing file servers (NFS, Samba etc.).

To import a directory, use the seaf-import.sh script in seafile-server-latest directory.

  1. usage :
  2. seaf-import.sh
  3.  -p <import dir path, must set>
  4.  -n <repo name, must set>
  5.  -u <repo owner, must set>

The specified directory will be imported into Seafile as a library. You can set the name and owner of the imported library.

Run ./seaf-import.sh -p <dir you want to import> -n <repo name> -u <repo owner>,

  1. Starting seaf-import, please wait ...
