Uploading file more than 5 mb, sound files, mediafiles.

[news microsoft]

Hello all,



In my ASP.Net , C# web Application I have used the traditional upload code
i.e. HTTP Method and it works fine for files and images up to 5 MB but once
the size of file is more than 5 MB it gives a error mostly time out error
and also uploading sound files (.mp3, .wma, .dat) is not allowed.



So I want a solution to this problem, I have heard about the FTP upload but
don't have much knowledge about it.



So can any one help me getting what is the way to use FTP upload method in
my code which allows me to upload files with large size and also sound files
and media files. If any other way through which I can achieve this.



Please suggest me a good method for this.



Thanks in advance



Vishal.

You can add or modify the following section in your web.config file:

<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4096" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

The above value (4096 KB) is the default maximum upload file size.

Why can't you upload MP3 or WMA files (assuming the size is small enough)?
This concerns me, because I need to do the same, just for audio files, soon.

The solution has nothing to do with FTP or errors with media files of any
type. It has to do with ASP.NET's built in upload limit.

hi vishal,
you can use WININET functions in your application and create a small componennt.
Example is:
[DllImport("wininet.dll",SetLastError=true,EntryPoint="FtpPutFile")]
private static extern bool FtpPutFile( int hConnect,string lpszLocalFile,string lpszNewRemoteFile,int dwFlags,int dwContext);

first create connection then call this method and close connection.
Happy Coding
