Login to DA as admin, then goto "administrator settings". Then set Max File Upload Size (bytes) to your needed value.
 
I have a bunch of .iso files I need to upload. The max file size I can do with the file manager is only 1GB. I need it to be about 5... I since my ftp doesn't work, I have been using frontpage, but I wanted to try the DA file manager...

Any ideas on how to bypass the "resonable limit"?
 
I have same problem, DirectAdmin only allows a max file size for uploads just above 1.5gb I need to upload files of 5gb to the server.

Does anyone have an answer to this please?

btw i would like to upload by ftp
 
It's not a DirectAdmin issue.

Do you understand the concept of a timeout?

Uploading 5gb to the server is going to take long enough to time out your connection even in the best of circumstances. It's not a filemanager issue it's an httpd issue.

In general use it take well over an hour to upload 5GB. Do you really want to reset your timeout to so large a number that a broken connection could result in a DOS of several hours duration?

FTP is designed for large uploads; I'd recommend using it.

This is what I'm doing.. I'm using ftp. I need to move a user to an other server. I've tried the backup/restore option in DirectAdmin and had no luck because of filesize..

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

File '/home/tmp/admin/user.admin.ansand.tar.gz' was 2147483647 bytes in size, as read by root.
Click to expand...

I also tried using putty to make an ftp connection but connection gets closed. Any help would be great!
 
ftp> get user.admin.ansand.tar.gz
local: user.admin.ansand.tar.gz remote: user.admin.ansaarnl.tar.gz
227 Entering Passive Mode (85,17,221,135,235,92).
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for user.admin.ansand.tar.gz (8055134368 bytes)
user.admin.ansand.tar.gz: short write
426 Transfer aborted. Operation not permitted



Anyone? :confused:

Hello,

If the filesystem, or transfer programs, for whatever reason, are not liking the oversized files, then a simple solution is to create a smaller file.

First determine what is causing the file to be so large.. eg:
databases
email
html/php/images data (under public_html)

Login as that User, then go to:
User Level -> Create/Restore Backups

Uncheck the one option that is making the backup very large, then create the Backup at the User Level as the User. Note you may need to temporarily give the User unlimited disk space if the file is going to put him over his limit.

This will create a backup in /home/username/backups, which you can then transfer over and restore normally. You can rename the User backup file to be the naming format that the Admin Level -> Admin Backup/Transfers uses, as the contents of the tar.gz files are the exactly the same.. less whatever you've not included.

Restore the file normally.

Then transfer the rest of the data manually, in chunks, etc.. as needed.
Or use the same process as above, but use the inverse options with the checkboxes.
