uploading huge files

HI people, there is an alternative way to upload files than the ASP.NET
native way? Is OK for small files but It doesn't seems to be convenient for
an application where there is a lot of paralell uploadings of huge files
(50MB-100MB)

Any idea? open source components ?

thanks

You can still make it "safe". The process that looks at files can look at
the file header. The file header must have a certain security code or key -
what ever you come up with. If it does not, delete the file. You can also
block ftp at the front door using proxy/firewalls so people can't even get
as far as sending a file. If it is really secure, you probably have a
firewall anyway to filter access to the port - right? Naturally, you can
always create a socket app and code the transfer and security yourself.
Remoting would also work, but not sure how much faster it would be over your
http transfer and you would still need to prog the security.

How safe is safe? :)

Another way to make ftp safe is to use tunneling via ssh (for
example). There is information on the net how to do that.

Hi there. I've spent the weekend getting ever more frustrated, trying to get an upload file function working on a website. The site is hosted by a company called oneandone. They're using PHP 4.2. 3, not in safe mode. I think that the basic problem is the set-up for the temp folder, but I don't have access to the .ini settings. I'm pretty sure it's possible, because I've got MyPHPAdmin running, and

Q: How should I handle file upload? A: File uploading requires HTML form of content type "multipart/form-data".

Then you may move that file to another directory using move_uploaded_file(); file name will be available in the superglobal $_FILES. Refer:...

Good afternoon. The entire task that I'm trying to achieve is to allow a user to browse and upload multiple files simultaneously, hiding the Browse button of <input> tags of type="file" and replacing it with a button of my own background color and text. The file paths I'd like displayed in a textarea and then the files uploaded at once.

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...
