Does ASP upload file has a file size limit?

[amahmood]

Hi
I know a bit about PHP. I am trying to upload a large file to server but PHP has a file size limit. I am not sure if I can get the host to increase the limit size.

Can I use ASP for upload instead? I mean is there any file size limit on ASP?

and how can I upload this file to mysql?

thanks

You want to upload a file to MySQL?

To upload a file to the server using classic ASP, you need a third-party component. It is possible without one; I think phpnovice knows of an article or has written a file upload tool.

www.aspupload.com will warrant your answer.

Yes, the above is if you wish to buy one. The following is if you wish to get one free and/or write your own:

ASP 101 -- Pure ASP File Upload (http://www.asp101.com/articles/jacob/scriptupload.asp)

Amahmood,

I think your question is whether asp has same size limits as php.

The answer is yes. They all do.

However, if you are running your php/asp on iis 6+, then you can increase the size of file downloads by following this instruction below:
To remove size limitation in IIS 6 you need to edit the Metabase file, which can be found at c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\MetaBase.xml.

hope this helps

I'm not sure what version of ISS I have (on XP Pro) but there is no file in existence such as the following:

c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\MetaBase.xml

What I did find is this -- but you'd have to tell me how to edit it: :D

c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\MetaBase.bin

Try searching for that name.

It is there.

I searched -- not there. However perhaps it is because I am running IIS v5.1 on XP Pro. I just verified that that is the version I have.
