Upload Question

[OJB]

Hey guys

 

I already have two accounts with TCH and will probably be buying a new one soon as I am currently developing a new website which I will want to turn live within a few months.

 

A major part of my site though will be to allow clients to login and upload large .zip or .rar files (possibly up-to around 200MB)... but I would like to do this through a PHP script, but I know that the PHP upload limit is set in php.ini (or at least I think it is)

 

I would rather not rely on FTP just for ease-of-use for my clients, so what I ask is would TCH be willing to increase the upload limit up to 200MB, or is this too high??

 

Any info on a better way to approach this would be splendiferous!!

 

thanks

Put this in your htaccess and it will allow you to upload a file that is bigger than normally allowed.

 

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

 

Note: Change 10 to the max size you want.

Good luck attempting a 200MB upload using PHP. I believe the connection will time out before it can finish.

what would be the best way to allow users to upload large files then? Is it FTP? I'd prefer a webpage based upload thing... with a browse button etc....

Well I only use FTP for uploading. I've taught many people how to use FTP. Although sometimes a challenge it works.

I agree, I only use FTP for uploading personally

 

I just thought that if I had clients who had to upload large files it would be easiest if it was browser based and I didnt have to explain to them FTP and make them download an FTP client.

 

 

Does anyone else know of a way to do this from the browser?
