i have got this component working but...every time i try to upload a file that is over 10 megs or so i get some sort or error message. i might have some files that are more than 900 megs. anyone have any ideas on this? here is my test code...

asp..

<%
Response.Expires = 0
Set fbase = Server.CreateObject("Chili.Upload.1")
' 100 megs
fbase.SizeLimit = 10000000
DuplicateCounter = 0
dim strSentence, arrWords, strOneWord, element
strSentence = fbase.SourceFileName
strSentence = Trim(strSentence)
arrWords = Split (strSentence, "\", -1, 1)
element = UBound(arrWords)
fileName = Server.MapPath("/testingSite/documents/") & "/" & arrWords(element)
fileName = Replace (fileName," ","")
response.write "file name is " & arrWords(element)
fbase.AllowOverwrite = False
fbase.SaveToFile(fileName)
set fbase = nothing
%>

html code..

<form action="testUpload2.asp" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="FILE" name="FILE">
<input name="SUBMIT" type="SUBMIT" value="Upload">
</form>


this is really driving me crazy...

The following != to 100megs as your comment suggests:
fbase.SizeLimit = 10000000
This property is in bytes, 10000000 bytes is equal to:
80000000 bits
10000000 bytes
9765.625 kilobytes (abbreviated as KB or Kb*)
9.5367 megabytes (abbreviated as M or MB)
0.00931 gigabytes (abbreviated as G or GB)
0.000009 terabytes
0.0000000 petabytes
0.00000000 exabytes

For a convertor go to:

To set a 100mb cap change your value to:
fbase.SizeLimit = 105000000
This set the value to:
840000000 bits

105000000 bytes
102539.062 kilobytes (abbreviated as KB or Kb*)
100.1358 megabytes (abbreviated as M or MB)
0.09779 gigabytes (abbreviated as G or GB)
0.000095 terabytes
0.0000001 petabytes
0.00000000 exabytes

BTW-;;;i might have some files that are more than 900 megs
Wow - very big files!!!

thank you for that...i'll make the changes and see what happens.

i was afraid of this...i got this error message...

Chili.Upload.1 error '80020009'

Failed reading post data. GetLastError() returned: 0

/testingSite/testUpload2.asp, line 13


  this is from trying to upload a 12mb file. i changed the filesize limit to "fbase.SizeLimit = 1048576000" and line 13 is...

strSentence = fbase.SourceFileName

any ideas what is wrong here?

btw... this code still works as is with flies less than about 5 mb.

so has anybody else here used chili.upload succesfully with large file uploads (perhaps as large as 900mb.)? and can tell me what i am doing wrong?

I seem to have the same problem, did you ever find a solution?

Joel

I have the same problem with large files (90Mb+) but a different error message:

Chili.Upload.1 error '80020009'
Could not get TotalBytes. No data was sent.

Is just this component inappropriate for files of this size?

You will probably want to contact the distributor of this component as this is more or less related to errors with that compoenent then a generalized question about asp.

However, that error message tells me that you have not setup the component correctly or are not correctly getting the uploaded file to the component.

My experience with this tool was up and down. Place 'pure asp upload' in the search area of this forum for a solid piece of code which does not require registration of components or anything to be placed on the server in addition to the .asp pages - Its tops.

There is talk in this posty of uploading crazy size files. If you want to upload over 70ish MB think about using FTP. IMO Uploading large files over HTTP isnt that smart. I allow up to 70MB using a pure ASP upload (dont forget to increase the script time out above the default 90 seconds and increase the property in the metabase.xml file for Win 2003). Some may say this is not ideal; whats other peoples thoughts on these questions, lets say its a reasonably high spec server:

Max file size using http?
Max increase of script time out?
