uploading files to my server

Recommended Posts

I created a form with a file upload button meant to upload large video files to my server, mainly because emails dont allow large files to be transmitted. If I dont set a file size limit in my script will all file sizes be able to uploaded? Are there any advantages to setting a file size? When I tested the upload feature it seemed to take a really long time.. is this due to not setting a file size? Thank you very much! Lisa.

If you don't set a limit, the php configured limit will be used.

 

If you set your limit too high, people could upload tons of stuff, and use up all your disk space.

 

Uploads take a long time because your typical internet connection has around 1/8th the upload speed when compared to the download speed.
