Hi @Venu_Joguparti ,

The following plugin may be helpful to you

Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI)

Add multiple attachments from a directory matching a regex pattern. Use minor to avoid notifications. Use recursive to find files in sub-directories.

Hi @Venu_Joguparti - Here's an example command with the Confluence CLI to upload files from a particular directory to a specific page in a space:

acli --action addAttachments --space "myspace" --title "my page" --file "./directory/containing/files/" --server "wiki.myserver.com" --user "myUserName" --password "myPassword"

@Michael Kuhl {Appfire}  I tried with below command , looks like i am missing something

acli --action addAttachments --space "XXXX.atlassian.net" --title "my page" --file "./Downloads/comingsoon_12/comingsoon_12/" --server "wiki.myserver.com" --user "vXXXXX@gmail.com" --password "XXXXXXX"

I have html/css/pdf in local disk under downloads and trying to upload in confluence space which i created 

Can you correct if i missing something

@Michael Kuhl {Appfire}  it also  throws back as Space is unknown flag

Two things to make sure of with --space:

1. Make sure --space is all lower case.
2. Use the space key without quotes to be more precise (--space SPACEKEY).  It looks like you are providing your confluence URL for your space in your example above.

Also, I just noticed that your are using Confluence cloud so you need to make two other changes:

1. --server will be the URL of your cloud Confluence. 
2. Rather than --password you will need to use --token and provide your Atlassian cloud API token.

@Michael Kuhl {Appfire}  thank you for the prompt response . I tried with the below command as per your input

acli --action addAttachments --space teamspace --title teampages --file ../XXXXXXX/Development/XXXX/News/DEV_C_Conference_2014/ --server XXXXX.atlassian.net --user vXXXXXX@gmail.com --token XXXXXXXXXXXNzXXXXXXX

Getting the below error when i run the above command

Error

Parameter error: Unknown flag 'space'. Action was addAttachments for the jiracloud client. Other related clients were also attempted without success.

It looks like the problem is with your server parameter.  Notice in the error it states: "Action was addAttachments for the jiracloud client".  It thinks you want to perform the action on Jira cloud but Jira doesn't have spaces.  I suspect the full url for your Confluence instance is xxxxx.atlassian.net/wiki.  With that URL it should use the Confluence Cloud client. 

To be extra sure you can also add confluencecloud after acli like so:

acli confluencecloud --action ....
