age old file upload question
okay. I'm working with a client who has a website that allows users to upload image files. He doesn't want to restrict the size limits of the file uploads, so sometimes these file uploads take 10-20 minutes depending on the original resolution of the image and the user's bandwidth. I regularly see these requests go over 5 minutes. I'm sure that http is NOT the best way to upload a 50 meg high res photograph. I think what might be cool would be some kind of ActiveX control that would resize the image *BEFORE* uploading it, but I'd want it to be as simple to use as a regular file upload form. Ultimately, the average user doesn't upload more than 5 or so images, but it seems like they're almost always high res, and there are currently 50,000 users and the site is continuing to grow.

Re: File Upload question
no, it's definitely their error. You *need* to have permission to write to the temp folder - CFFILE writes into it first then the file is moved to the specified location. It's invisible to you as a developer but from the server admins should know about it - especially crystaltech!!! jb.

Re: File Upload question
I have contacted them, here is the response I got. Due to CFMX Sandbox security, your site is locked to its own folder structure. This means that you would not have access to the windows/temp folder and you should be specifying a temp folder with the site. I would assume this worked at one point because there may have been an error with the sandbox. Once the sandbox was corrected, you were denied to a folder outside the site's root. Let me know if you need any futher help.

RE: File Upload Question
File uploads over http (using a form post) is limited by the amount of memory on your server. The protocol uploads the file to memory first, then your scripts transfer it from memory to disk, or whatever your scripts decide to do with it. So, if you only have 25 meg available ram, that would be the maximum file size you can upload. We ran into this a while back and have yet to find another solution (besides bumping the memory on the server). If you know of something to address this, let me know. That still doesn't explain why a 40 meg file would time out after only 30 seconds though. I'd suggest examining your CF application logs, or your server logs (application event log in NT). They might offer some insight. The problem I described above logs an NT error indicating "Out of resources". Hope that helps.

RE: File upload question
Not sure I'm understanding the problem. Are you saying that when the File selector window appears, you can only select *.txt files? If that's the case, then simply change your file type box (mine defaults to HTML files). But, this sounds too obvious, so I'm guessing I'm not understanding the question. In our case, we are able to upload ANY file type with a similar form to what you have shown. Maybe look at your processing page (with the CFFile tag), and see what it is doing?? My two cents.

RE: File upload question
Actually, yes, I am treating it like a variable. I'm not saving the file to the server, but instead am just grabbing the string contained in it. No need to save the file itself after I have the contents. Our clients have a lot of legacy files that have been uploaded in the client/server app in times past, so we need to also allow for file uploads, so to speak, rather than just having a form field to cut and paste strings into.

In the ACCEPT attribute of the you can specify varoius mime types to upload for example: So if you need to upload several different mime types use: ACCEPT="gif,jpg,ppt,doc,dot,pdf,xls,htm,html" for example.

What are you doing with the uploaded file? It sounds like you're simply treating it like you would any other form variable. Typically, you use CFFILE to save the uploaded file to the filesystem.
