File Upload Username/password Prompt

[Chevron7]

I have created a photo upload page using the FP upload component. If the
photo is larger than 1 mb I am prompted for a username/password. Is there any
way to circumvent this? Would a password protected subweb resolve this ... or
would I just get 2 prompts?

A couple of things to look at:

The upload component will only work on a Windows server running
FrontPage 2002 extensions.
To set the permissions on the upload folder:
open the remote website in FrontPage
Right click on the folder the files are to be uploaded to
Choose Properties
Clear the box "Allow scripts to be run"
Tick the boxes "Allow anonymous upload to this directory"
and (optional) "Allow uploaded files to overwrite existing filenames"

Changing Upload Limit:
The Default is set to 1 MB anonymous uploads.

The command that you can run on the server that will increase the anonymous
upload size for a given web site. The command (for all ports) is as follows
:

owsadm -o setproperty -pn vti_maxuploadcontentlength -pv 3000000

The Owsadm.exe can be found at C:\Program files\common files\Microsoft
Shared\Web server extensions\50\bin folder.

The size at the end of the line is in bytes.

Does this command (Owsadm) need to be run by someone with administrator
privileges?

Yes, administrator privileges for the operating system are required,
and it must be run on the server you are uploading to, not your own PC.
