Description

Hey,

I want to upload several large files to Wikimedia Commons.

Is there a repository where you can upload the files as a TAR archive first?

After that I wish the upload of said files to Commons. :)

Thank you very much!

Hi, as nothing is mentioned on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Server-side_upload I'm afraid that we don't offer such repositories ourselves.

I guess you can upload the TAR archive on some cloud service like Google Drive, Dropbox and etc. Then someone who has access for server-side upload can download it and import files on Wikimedia Commons.

Thank you for you answers, I will upload a TAR.GZ archive and send the link within a few days :).

I guess you can upload the TAR archive on some cloud service like Google Drive, Dropbox and etc. Then someone who has access for server-side upload can download it and import files on Wikimedia Commons.

Please do NOT use mainstream services like Google Drive or Dropbox. We do need direct HTTP link to the file, with no forms, checks, or authentication, as otherwise we can't download the file to production.

One of ways how to do this is to upload the file to "scratch" volume at Toolforge. If you don't have Toolforge access, I could generate a voucher for you at filesender.cesnet.cz to upload the file I guess.

That would be nice! :)

Could you email me at martin.urbanec@wikimedia.cz? I'll send you a link :). I'd email you through the wiki interface, but it looks you don't have an email set.

Cesnet's sharer unfortunately had some issues, so we decided to use some other service. Links:

Fortunately, this cloud generates direct download links, and can be easily used for the upload. I'll finish it soon.

This should be all done.
