Re: Loading Large Files through a Browser
We've used CFFILE for saving files and for appending information to files on disk. Our big problem was that CFFILE loads the entire file into memory before saving it to disk. So it's possible your problem is in CFFILE trying to put it all in memory before saving to disk.

Is there any way to adjust IE's timeout, maybe a registry hack?

RE: Loading Large Files through a Browser
Be patient. Depending on your connection, and the server load, this can take a while. (I know, that's kinda obvious). When I was testing the limits of our upload application, I had to do a number of progressivly larger files. When I hit 67 Meg, it would take near 45 minutes for the file to upload the file, or before I would see an NT 1405 error (or was that 1450?) indicating out of resources (out of memory). My recommendation would be to start the upload and wait until the browser either times out, or you get an error reported. Then again, if you are dealing with a local network (for development I'd presume), a 15 Meg file should only take a couple of minutes.

Re: Loading Large Files through a Browser
We have successfully loaded files in excess of 50 meg through a browser using CFFILE (disclaimer...not by my choice!). We had to boost our pagefile.sys size to make room for these rediculously large files. If you run out of memory, it will de-stabilize your server. And, if the client terminates the upload before the upload is complete, often times the temporary memory space is not released. After a while, the memory will fill up. Our work-around is to reboot the server every couple of days (during the night), to guarantee that everything is clean, clear, and fresh. In the meantime, we are looking at solutions like PHP's FTP functions. Good luck.

Re: Loading Large Files through a Browser
CFFILE puts the whole file into memory before saving to disk. But what happens after the file is written to disk? Is the memory cleared? My cfm page, consisting of just cffile action=UPLOAD filefield=form.flat destination=#request.flatPath# nameconflict=ERROR and some comments hangs after the third upload. I upload small jpegs about 67KBs. I upload one, hit back, and upload another one. By the fourth upload the cfserver hangs and I need to restart it. I'm trying to locate the problem. My initial guess is that the server is at fault here. cf 5.0 pro on red hat Won Lee At 12:46 PM 6/13/2002 -0400, you wrote: We've used CFFILE for saving files and for appending information to files on disk.
