This is a tool written by Stuart Preston to enable us to mass upload files, folders and sub-folders into our sharepoint document library. The tool will automatically create the folders in sharepoint. There is no limit on the number of documents you could upload.
How to use:
1. Extract the zip file, this is actually a Visual Studios project with source code.
2. To start using the tool, copy the Conchango.Sharepoint.Utilities.BulkUpload.exe file from /bin/Debug folder to your C:\ root folder and rename it to something shorter like “spbulk.exe”.
3. Open up command prompt (Start->Run->cmd)
4. type: C: to go to your C:\ root
5. type: spbulk “c:\source folder” “http://webapp/site/target/document_library”
(replace the source folder and destination with your actual folder and site url)
6. Wait for the tool to finish.
Here is a powershell script for uploading a single file to a Sharepoint Document Library using FrontPage RPCs:

I got it somewhere, so you can try it.
SOLUTION
Add the following code to the section of the Web.config file:
Hi,
I need to change the document properties which are already Uploaded. All the document properties lie in an excel sheet. Which Web service do i use to Edit the metadata. Since the Documents are uploaded on a Production Server. And i do not have access to the Production Code
The tool does not work for uploading dll, mdb files. It returns an error ‘Request URL Too Long’
Hi,
The bulk upload tool did not worked for me. I was uploading 3000 SharePoint Form Library xml documents from local folder (after clreaning up) back to Form Library. The tool was relatively fast. But I found out all xml header info truncated. Any idea?
Sincerely,
