Upload Large Files

H

HollyylloH

I need to upload large files 4+Mb. I have used an upload form field in
Frontpage 2003. The page appears to time out before the file is uploaded,
showing a "can not find server" message.

Thank you for your help.

The FP File Upload component is limited to 1 MB or less by default, your web host would have to
increase this.

Thank you Thomas. We have our own web server but are currently without a web
administrator. Could you direct me into making this change to the acceptable
upload file size. I have looked unsuccessfully at Frontpage and IIS for a
setting to change. Hope you can help.

It is a registry setting, but I do not know which. You might try the Windows Server or IIS
newsgroup.

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 4000000
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.

I found this:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sppt/sharepnt/proddocs/admindoc/owsl03.mspx

Which explains the MaxUploadContentLength command-line property

I used this command:

owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn vti_maxuploadcontentlength -pv 60000000

now, when I click the submit button of the file upload form, I get this error:

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web
server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish
this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

So, then do I need to reinstall server extensions? and why did this not work?

Thank you.

Try setting the value that of 4 MB, which may be the maximum limit.

Thanks Thomas; however, I have tried this, even setting back to 1Mb, but it
looks like I have to solve this new problem before I can attempt anything
else. As I mensioned, I used this command:

owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn vti_maxuploadcontentlength -pv 60000000

now, when I click the submit button of the file upload form, I get this error:

"FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web
server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish
this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed."

So, then, it looks like I need to reinstall server extensions. I am
wondering why the owsadmin.exe caused this new problem. I'll let you know how
it goes.

Thanks

You might want to consider using a ASP File Upload Component where you then have more control over
the file being uploaded, and the allowable size, types, etc.
