Form File Upload Size Restriction

L

LCN

Hello
I have a FP form with many data elements and six potential fields for file
uploads. I have asked users to keep file sizes under 1 meg. Small files are
fine, large files however block the user and ask for my website access ID and
password.

Is there a FP forms file upload size restriction? Is this controlled at the
server by the service provider? Can it be changed or updated? Is there
something that I can be pointed to that explains what needs to be done?

Thanks!

Yes, 1 MB. You web host would have to be willing to change this.

What do they have to do to change it?

I think it is a registry entry. However it may be a global setting, which would apply to all
accounts on the server, not just yours, so that may be a reason they will not be willing to change
it.

The limit is 1 megabyte....and it's probably restricted like that so the
server isn't tied up with people uploading large files.

Default is set to 1 MB anonymous uploads.
There is a command that your host 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 on teh server.

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

THANK YOU!

I'll pass this to my provider. We came up with a work around whereby we
issued a temp ID and password, then it will allow updates > 1 meg. It's just
cumbersome for the user and more maintence for me.

Thanks again
