[EP-tech] Re: is there any file upload limit

I have used a 64 bit architecture (client and server) to transfer 12Gb files. Note that you will need a large /tmp area to buffer the upload!

Hi Stefano,

I remember testing this with TimB and we could upload 8GB files without a problem from Chrome. Firefox seemed to always complain if the file was bigger than 2-4GB (sorry I don't recall the exact limit). I *think* 64-bit version of IE were OK too.

Then you may also have limits on the server-side (apache, cgi) but I don't recall it being a default behaviour.

hi
a user has problem uploading a 20Gb file (yes i know it's quite big :)

i read in some old thread that ePrints should not have any limits
it's just Apache/Perl that have (maybe a 2Gb limit)

anyway we could upload a 2.5Gb file without any problems

does anybody has any hint where to search about allowing such huge files upload?

we are on Ubuntu 64bit

thank you!

stefano
