My company has moved to TFS 2010. We have a new Sharepoint server (Sharepoint 2010 with Enterprise Client Access License) for our new TFS Server.

But there are a lot of documents we would like to move from our old Sharepoint v3.0 server. We don't want to move all the documents, but we do want to move a lot of them.

I had heard that Explorer View can make this easy, but I tried this and it does not seem to work for our Sharepoint v3.0 server (even after I enabled and started the "WebClient" service on the server).

So, my question is this: Is there an easy way to move/copy large amounts of Documents (only documents) from a Sharepoint v3.0 site to Sharepoint 2010 site?

Whats the issue with explorer view? I'd try to fix that as it's the easiest way to copy many files out of WSS 3.0. Try using it in 32-bit Windows XP with IE 7. – Daniel Lucas Sep 24 '11 at 2:52
Explorer view has been messed up by MS in IE8 and IE9. Incredibly they don't offer any solution. Daniel is right, try it out in a vm with an older install. – Ian Jan 17 at 15:01
Codeplex has a tool which will permit you to do this - its got a steep learning curve but it does work. spmigration.codeplex.com. We used it as the base for a tool we wrote to migrate a specific installation - over 100Gb of docs migrated without incident. – Ian Jan 17 at 15:04
