ADDING FILES AND MAKING THEM DOWNLOADABLE!!! PLEASE HELP

[bradleybardwell18]

I AM A DJ AND I HAVE MY SITE UP. I am currently trying to add music and CDs
that I have made to b able to be downloadable by potential customers. Right
now when I add anywhere from a 3 min song to a 30 minute Mixtape it works and
uploads on the server, but when I try to add a ZIP FILE that is between 70-80
MB it gives me some kind of error saying: 'PORT 80 ERROR' something along
those lines. CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME IDEAS OF WHAT I SHOULD DO. I dont want to
use some outside site unless I have to.

THANKS

You can't publish a file over 1mb in size using the http:// website address and extensions

Assuming these files are in their own folder and not in the root of the web, publish them using ftp://

I dont think ive been publishing in the ftp:// format how do i go from
http:// to ftp:// and what will b the difference and will it mess up any of
what ive been doin?

Do not publish your site in FTP
- it will corrupt the FP SE
Create a subweb for large files, say named Media
- then convert it to a FP subweb
- and use a 3rd party FTP program to upload just to that folder

You can go over the default 1 MB limit
- but on most servers the OP will hit the absolute 30 MB limit

To increase the Default setting from 1 MB anonymous uploads.
There is a command that your host can run on the server that will increase the anonymous upload size for a given web site. The
command (for all ports) is as follows:
owsadm -o setproperty -pn vti_maxuploadcontentlength -pv 30000000
The Owsadm.exe can be found at C:\Program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\50\bin folder.
- The size at the end of the line is in bytes.
