Server timeout when uploading large files

F

Frankie

I have a dedicated NT webserver running IIS 4.0. We're maintaining it with
FP 2003 on WIn XP workstations over a LAN connection

Probem is this- whenever I try to import a large file (20Mb+) into the web,
the import fails, and I get a popup that says "The server connection timed
out". I've tried drag-and-drop from Windows Explorer, and explicit file
import from FP - neither works.

This doesn't happen with smaller files

What might be happening here, and what can I do about it?

Many users can not import a file into a FP web, that is over 1 MB in size. The solution is use other
means of placing it in the web, then run Tools | Recalculate hyperlinks.

Or since it is your server you can change it
The default is set to 1 MB anonymous uploads.
There is a command that you can run on the server that will increase the anonymous upload size for a given web site. The command
(for all ports) is as follows
owsadm -o setproperty -pn vti_maxuploadcontentlength -pv 20000000
The Owsadm.exe can be found at C:\Program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\50\bin folder.
The size at the end of the line is in bytes.

Note:
If you try to publish to a commercial server you may have problems w/ files over 1 MB
- so creating a subweb for the large files that you can later FTP is a good idea
