Form File Upload Size Restriction

G

Guest

Hello
I have a FP form with many data elements and six potential fields for file
uploads. I have asked users to keep file sizes under 1 meg. Small files are
fine, large files however block the user and ask for my website access ID and
password.

Is there a FP forms file upload size restriction? Is this controlled at the
server by the service provider? Can it be changed or updated? Is there
something that I can be pointed to that explains what needs to be done?

Thanks!

What do they have to do to change it?

Yes, 1 MB. You web host would have to be willing to change this.

I think it is a registry entry. However it may be a global setting, which would apply to all
accounts on the server, not just yours, so that may be a reason they will not be willing to change
it.

Default is set to 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 3000000

The Owsadm.exe can be found at C:\Program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\50\bin folder on teh server.

The size at the end of the line is in bytes.
