Hi,
beside the regular upload traffic to our wiki-commons that is limited in file size, from time to time there are needs to upload/integrate big media files in our wiki-commons. These files are physically stored already on wiki server (WebDAV enabled directory elsewhere in directory tree beyond wiki directory).
To upload/integrate these files until now we download them to local PC, release temporarily upload limitations and upload them via MediaWiki GUI to wiki-commons.
Performance is very bad, especially upload...
Now my question:
Is there a way to upload/integrate those files via server-local script or otherwise but with full file information management in wiki-commons (duplicate tests, creation of file article)?
Admins have secure shell access on wiki server.
Regards / Freundliche Grüße Uwe (Baumbach)

Sounds like they're already available by HTTP?
Then maybe https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowCopyUploads would be a good way to do it.

There is an importImages.php maintenance script, does that fit your needs?
