Uploading file more than 5 mb,sound file, media file.

[news microsoft]

Hello all,

In my ASP.Net , C# web Application I have used the traditional upload code
i.e. HTTP Method and it works fine for files and images up to 5 MB but once
the size of file is more than 5 MB it gives a error mostly time out error
and also uploading sound files (.mp3, .wma, .dat) is not allowed.

So I want a solution to this problem, I have heard about the FTP upload but
don't have much knowledge about it.

So can any one help me getting what is the way to use FTP upload method in
my code which allows me to upload files with large size and also sound files
and media files. If any other way through which I can achieve this.

Please suggest me a good method for this.

Thanks in advance

Hi Vishal,

you cud refer to
http://www.dotnetspider.com/Technolo...wQuestion.aspx
?QuestionId=940 for a sample on using FTP upload in .NET

also, a search on the web for the same yields tons of URLs.

do these files need to move securely? The easiest method for developers to
use for sensitive data has become HTTPS because all of the complexity is
handled by the web server software. However, if you want to use FTP, you
have to handle this, because FTP is not secure.

You could take a look at SSH / SCP protocols, but they require a client. I
do not know of a SSH client that runs in a web browser, but then again, I
haven't looked. If you can use a client app instead of a web page (not
everyone can), then SSH could work for you.

Good luck,
