Upload multiple files into Mongodb through Shell

[tma...@auspicate.com]

Hi 

Can anyone help me to upload multiple files with one single command(like put) through shell, I have uploaded a file into mongodb by using put command through shell. I don't want go for c# coding which will use Gridfs.

If Gridfs can be used in shell, please let me know the query command for shell.

Thanks in advance

The mongo shell doesn't have a GridFS interface. If you don't want to write a C# program to insert multiple files, you could write a lightweight script, say using mongofiles and a shell script or using the Python driver's gridfs package.

I have uploaded single file ( mongofiles put recovery.json) using shell script. I have tried ( mongofiles put directorypath.*)  unfortunately it did not work. Can you let me know the query(command)

Hi Tulasi,

The `mongofiles` command line tool is a fairly basic helper. If you want to do anything more advanced you could either use the GridFS API via a MongoDB driver, or perhaps cook up a loop in a bash shell script or similar.

You may want to raise a feature suggestion in the TOOLS project (component "mongofiles") to see if others would find this useful.

Regards,

Stephen

Hi Stephen

Can you please help me with the javascript code for uploading files in bulk into mongodb. I am getting any clue on how to start this. Please check the url below, I have tried to insert using the same syntax ("mongofiles -d put a.pdf b.pdf" & "mongofiles -d put c:\..\" ) unfortunately both the ways did not work. Can you please help me understand the syntax given in the url

Thanks in advance

Hi Tulasi,

Apologies .. thought I'd already posted a reply to your last comment but it seems to have gone astray :(.

The "put" documentation you've referenced here is for WinSCP, which is unrelated to saving files to GridFS with the `mongofiles` command line tool:
 http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongofiles/

Since the `mongofiles` command only accepts a single filename as a parameter, you would have to call `mongofiles --put filename` for each file you want to upload. I think a better alternative would be to bulk upload files using the GridFS API via your favourite programming language.

I've also created a feature suggestion to add support for wildcard filenames to `mongofiles` if you'd like to upvote/watch this:
 https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/TOOLS-720

That won't help you in the short term, but it seems like it might be a useful feature to add.

Regards,

Stephen
