Upload Componet

[Guest]

When you use the upload componet in Frontpage, it only allows you to upload
small files up to 1MB in size to the web server. I noticed if you add a
"Manage Users" in FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 as having "Author" rights,
then you are able to upload large files. This is a security risk, because
they can use Frontpage to access the files on the web server. Is their a way
I can remove the "Author" rights and still allow large uploads?

Thanks for your help

Hi Dave.

Default is set to 1 MB for anonymous uploads.

There is a command that you 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 size at the end of the line is in bytes.

Hope this helps
