Limiting (or maximizing) file upload size in fp2k

[Jimdigriz]

Hello FP 2000 discussion. I was wondering how to limit uploading sizes with a
frontpage upload form? On my site, I want to make the max file size to be
uploaded around 20-50mb. Sadly, I cant do this, for once a file exceeds like
2mb or so a field for password and username (your ftp account username is
required) pops up and to upload the larger file you must enter the
information and then submit. But with files below 1 or 2 mb it uploads w/o
problems via anonymous users. Is this even possible to regulate? Tyvm for the
help.

It is a server setting which your host may be willing to change
- if they understand the FP SE
The Default is set to 1 MB anonymous uploads.
There is a command that the 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.
The size at the end of the line is in bytes.
