Thanks for your input. Also I wanted the file corresponding entry should be in file_manage table. So I was wondering if we can do file uploading using drupal framework. Any such module is there , that can upload all the files from local machine, and write corresponding entry in file_manage table.

Thanks austin

there are some upload modules with a java front end. you need a server side module to receive and save it. they might work or you might be able to adapt them. http://drupal.org/project/jifupload

Dear All I am struggling to upload word documents to our drupal 7 site without having a form.

It is easy when you have a form (just can use file_save_upload api), but think of a situation you have excel sheet at server, where 100 file names are mentioned, and you want to get the files one by one.

In that case, how do we upload a file, and after upload how do I get the FID.

Is it really possible with existing framework?
