How to upload file > 4GB on web server from ASP.NET

[DotNetJunkies User]

The HTMLInputFile control works fine up to 25 MB with changing MaxRequestLen in web.config but didn't work for greater size of the file..does anybody have the idea how to do that.??

Quite frankly, doing a 4 GB upload through ASP.NET is insane, as it blows up
your worker process (it will keep all uploaded bytes in memory until the
upload is finished). You're much better off using another protocol for such
heavy weight operations.

FTP.

Because I bet the Inputfile control stores the file into memory... thus
blowing your server up.

Get a 3rd party control that breaks the file up into chunks and streams it
to the server.
This way you do not overload the RAM and blow up your server.
