In the Source Directory mess linux and windows paths.

The imported files must be in the Ubuntu directory structure. Put/map it on the server and use linux path.

My gesses, you confused by the source of import. Alfresco bulk import takes files only from the server file system. From the Windows or any other web client you could only start and manage this porcess. In any way the files must be placed on the server. Reffering the documentation:

"The Import directory field is required and indicates the absolute file system directory to load the content and spaces from, in an OS-specific format. Note that this directory must be locally accessible to the server on which the Content Services instance is running. It must either be a local file system or a locally mounted remote file system (mounted using GFS, or similar).
