2 GB File upload in C#
c#-2.0, cross-browser, file-upload
Solution
An alternative to using a client side control using Flash or Silverlight is to use Darren Johnson's ASP.NET upload module. I'd recommend you take a look at this.
It's an IIS HTTP module that will allow files to be uploaded in small chunks, reducing memory usage. There is some client side JavaScript that will show the user the upload progress.
I'm successfully using this with MOSS 2007 and have tested it with files up to 2GB - it works great!
Problem
There is a requirement where the client needs a option to Upload Files that are really large (<=2GB) through browser. And i found that the browser can support only 2GB file upload. Is it so? If yes, then for at least 1.9999GB is there any solution? Tried working with the parameters like maxRequestLength, executionTimeout which resulted in nothing.
