[opencms-dev] Recommended way of importing external resources to VFS ?

[Thomas Schmidt]

Hello,

I have some data (plain HTML files and Pictures) which are generated by some reporting tools. I would like to publish those in OpenCMS and make use of OpenCMS permission system.

What is the recommended way of importing static resources automatically from the server filesystem to the VFS ?

I tried to do that by OpenCMS shell - this works - but apparently I can only publish in general by giving command publishProjectAndWait(), which will publish apparently automatically other things from other users (seems so that in past there was something like publishResource(String) command which is not available anymore). 
I tried as well to configure a Synchronisation with a folder - which was not working (and would be less preferred).


Many Thanks
Kind Regards
Thomas Schmidt
