    Posted: 24 June 2007 at 3:14pm
I use the version 8.05(MySql) with upload file permissions enabled using the AspSmartUpload component and i asked to my host provider to give me the possibility to upload files up to 50 megs. Also, i added the option "30000" in the drop down box of the Upload configuration page.
The problem is when i try to upload a file larger than 8 megs, the upload process start and after a while i get an access denied page in the Attach File Properties window so the link doesn't appear in the post BUT the file is uploaded on the server.
Also I tried with Dundas and i got the same result.
The upload feature it is very important for my members and i would like to make it works fine before i switch from version 7.0 to 8.05 or 9.0
Thanks...

Microsoft set a limit of 2Mb within IIS as a limit for uploads using HTTP because it is a very bad way to upload files.

If you want to upload files larger than 2MB you would need to look at another solution like setting up FTP accounts for your users wanting to upload larger files.

Thanks Borg for your quick response.
If there is a limit of 2 megs, how can you explain that the file is completely uploaded on the server ?

Your web host may have done a hack on the IIS Meta base to allow larger uploads, but this certainly isn't recommended and most ASP upload components will not support uploads larger than 2MB.
