Hello,
I'm new to Alfresco so please bear with me if my question sounds ignorant. In this .net core API project I'm working on I need to copy files on Alfresco to a file share on our network. I was wondering if it's possible to do this? If so, can you point me to where I can find documentation about this feature or how I should go about this task? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure whether I understand what you mean.You can try to use dotcmis client libraryhttps://chemistry.apache.org/dotnet/dotcmis.htmlor you can use alfresco rest apihttps://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/dev-api-by-language-alf-rest.html
Hi @pshen & welcome to Alfresco!
Firstly, we all have to start somewhere, so you're question certainly does not sound ignorant!
I suppose it depends on whether you're copying items individually/ad hoc (then @kaynezhang has shown you can use the API or CMIS) or you want to copy all items (then you could map a network drive in Windows).
Perhaps if you could outline your requirement in a little more detail, that will help us to help you.
Take care,
Thank you for your prompty response. In the project that I'll work on, the nodes in Alfresco that's on server A will need to be copied over to server B via an API on server C. I looked at dotcmis client library as suggested by @kaynezhang and it seems that it works for downloading files from Alfresco but if I download files first to server C and then copy them to server B it'll not be that efficient. I was wondering if there's a better way of doing it? Thanks again for your help!
Thank you. Really appreciate!
You can try replication service
