File Upload question

[Eli Spitzer]

Hi gang,
in the article <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323246#kb2>
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323246#kb2), is
mentioned about the fact that when uploading a file, there is no possibility
to touch it in the server side until the whole file was uploaded to the memory
of the aspnet process.
My questions are:
1) What to do incase I need to allow upload of huge files (more then 1 GB)?
2) Was this behavior changed in ASP.NET 2.0?

Thanks,
Eli

You should setup the web.config file or the machine.config file.

It's the same.

Hello Giuseppe,
you are right about the web.config.
My problem is that there is no way of saving the file to disk before its
is all gets to memory, since if there are more then single upload of large
files (>1GB), then the memory of the server will be filled, probably recycle
of the asp_net service.
I can think of a workaround in which I can save chuncks of data to the disk,
but still I can get it all or nothing.

Eli.

Well I've the same problem. I'm trying to solve with an httpmodule that save
the file
before asp.net trap the error. but despite I'm able to save the file, IIS
continue to
show the error that file is too much long, and I don't know how to trap that
message.

Bye
Giuseppe
