Upload size limit

  A user is trying to upload a 10GB file. I know that IE has problems with files over 4GB. 

  Is there a size limit to the files you can upload and download ?

I see that 2GB is the size limit, will this change in version 3 or later ?

I have the same problem too.  It would be much better if the size limit is larger.

Note that the bottleneck is not our upload module. We have limited the maximum size to 2GB by default because it's the most compatible limit that is properly supported by both browsers and IIS.

However, you can always override the default limit and test the results. Open web.config and add the below settings:

<configuration>

    <configSections>
      <sectionGroup name="system.web">
        <section name="GleamTech.Web.FileTransfer" type="GleamTech.Web.FileTransfer.FileTransferSection, GleamTech.Web.FileTransfer"/>
      </sectionGroup>
    </configSections>

    <system.web>

      <GleamTech.Web.FileTransfer maxUploadSize="2090536" />

    </system.web>


</configuration>

You can change the maximum allowed upload size in <GleamTech.Web.FileTransfer> section. You should set maxUploadSize property in KB. For example, for 2 GB you should set it to 2090536. I have sent you an updated GleamTech.Web.FileTransfer.dll which will allow you to set values larger than 2090536. 

Note that maxRequestLength property of <httpRuntime> (ASP.NET's default section) does not effect uploads of FileVista.

FYI, the small change to allow setting larger values than 2GB, is included in v3.2.
