File size limit for webdav upload

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

we set up what we thought to be a restriction of the file size allowed for upload. We did this in the portal via

System administration --> system configuration --> Knowledge Management --> Protocols --> WebDav --> Max WebDAV request size: 15728640 bytes.

We would have expected that to not allow us uploading any files larger than 15 MB. Turns out we were wrong and it does not work. Here is a http-trace of an upload of a 21 MB file.

Note the content length in the outbound message is 21832627.

Would anyone know any other way of preventing the upload of large files via a webDAV client?

Thank you very much.

Hi Michael,

This cannot be possible in portal but you can upload the max size file through portal drive or webdev . Through portal drive you can upload 50mb or any format file size you can upload through portal but portal you cannot upload you can get the message of file uploading failure or connectivity issues like these messgae appears at every interval so go through the portal drive or webdev.

But best option for uploading huge file size is Portal drive. This will helpful for you.
