System Exception: Access Violation when Publishing Big Files

[Chee Peou]

I've a big file (700MB) in my c:\web. When backing up to d:\web.bak via FP Publish, FrontPage XP reported "System Exception: Access Violation". I've OfficeXP SP2 installed. How to go about this problem? Thks in adv.

You will have problem with any file over 1 MB. Publish the web without the
file, then use another means of moving this file.

BTW: Do you really expect someone to download a file of this size, if not
then why is it in your web?

Plus a dot is an illegal character in a folder name
Change your backup web (folder) name to say: d:\web_bak

Found the way to go around problem: split the file into multiples of 200MB. 200MB seems to be the limit that FP can handle

File that big is becos it is an audio file for downloading

FP does allow a "dot" in filename. "d:\web.bak" is simply a folder with the bak extension
