I am new to Geoserver. I have looked at some of the documentation to get started.
-
I am trying to get some shapefile data to the Geoserver. The geoserver is remote from where my data exists. Do I need to FTP the data to the geoserver or are there tools to get data from a remote location to the geoserver’s data folder?
-
I do not understand the URI for workspaces. Do I need to use my Geoservers URL and then a /workspace name for the “namespace URI”?
Would an example be:
New Workspace Name: California
Namespace URI: /California
where the URL part might be something like http://www.mydomainname.com?
If there are some clear tutorial guides, I would like to know where these are located.
- Also, if there is documentation or instructions for importing data from a remote location to a PostGIS database, I would like to know or if I need to have my source data on the geoserver machine before I do the import of data to the PostGIS database.
Thank you,
Nate

You’ll need to use some mechanism outside the UI to get data to your server; after that the Shapefile datastore configuration has a file browser to let you choose files that are already uploaded.
The URI is arbitrary but expected to be unique; a good convention for that is to ensure that each URI is a URL using your server’s hostname. But it won’t cause problems as long as each workspace has a unique URI.
