large file upload application problem

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

large file upload application problem

Post by jimthunderbird »

Hi All,
Recently I'm evolved in the development of a web application which allows the clients to upload large file (mostly 10-50mb in size). I wrote a cgi script for the upload and a php script for monitoring the upload progress. It works fine for any files that are smaller than 8mb and the upload progress less than 30 seconds. Other than those, it won't work. I contact the hosting provider it turns out that they set the file upload size limit and the file upload time limit. I talk hard but they won't change it.
Under this limit, what should I do ? Any other alternatives? Thank you very much for your help.

  • Change the settings via .htaccess
  • Give the user FTP access in some fashion
  • Find a new host that's more reasonable
