file upload question

[Phil Barber]

I am using a <INPUT> File html control to upload fiels to our server. it
basically works fine until you get a large file > 5 MEGS. Does anybody know
how to get around this limitation? or a better way to accomplish the same
thing?
thanks Phil.

This is probably due to the server that you're uploading to having a maximum
request size limit. A POST is a request that just does a lot of explaining.

If you have access to the server as an administrator you can increase this
size with the MAXREQUESTSIZE server config setting. If you don't have access
to the server admin you must break the file into smaller chunks and upload
it peicemeal.

It would help if you said what was going wrong when you had a large
file. Any relevant code would help, too.
