Uploading Larger Files

[Raj Dhrolia]

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me best way to upload large files (>100-500MB) to my
ASP.NET web application (IIS 6.0, Win 2K3).
The problem we see with conventional method is that the session times
out, and the entire file gets loaded in IIS memory and things get worst when
couple of users upload 100s of MBs of file.
The solution should also work with MAC browsers.
Any pointers will be of great help.
Thanks,
Raj.

You can use this

or an approach similar to the one in the component above

I can't help with the MAC thing, but we use BITS to upload files. It goes
over HTTP ports, can be throttled by the user, and it can restart uploads
that break so that whole upload doesn't start over.

Although it says it's for C and C++ developers there is a wrapper for C#
folks. It's my general experience that building two ways of doing this kind
of thing (one for Windows, another for MAC) might be better than one
complicated one that does both.
