file upload

[qex]

Hi there I am trying to upload files using asp not asp.net I found example on the microsoft website on how to do this and it works great for small files, but anything over about 100k starts to really take a long time. I'm not sure where to look for help on this any help would be appreciated. Or just a point in the right direction... Thanks

Maybe it's your connection that is a little slow (if you have a distant test server).

This link might help you.

Thanks for the quick response. I don't think its the connection, when ftp'ing I get pretty good upload rates.

I have seen the article you are refering to the problem is my web host will not let me register any dll's so I can't use the library that the article refers to.

Here is the link I found the code on it states that it is slow with large files, but I don't know why that is or how to correct it.

Web.Config

You have to specify the maximum input file size in your Web.Config or Machine.Config. Web.Config is easiest, just add the tag

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10000" />

to specify 10Mb as the maximum upload filesize. The limit can be however high you want, just make sure you don't go overboard and allow people to abuse the system
