CFFILE fails on large files - Timeout?

[grobish]

My application works fine uploading small files, but if I upload larger files - say about 50Mb - I get IE's "The page cannot be displayed" error page. When I try to continue, I hit my timeout error message.

I have session timeouts enabled and set to an hour, and lo and behold, the files that fail seem to be taking right about an hour (or more) to upload. I believe that the timeout value is causing the problem, so I've inserted a cfapplication before the cffile tag to increase the timeout to 8 hours and another one after the cffile tag to set it back to one hour.

Am I jumping to conclusions with the timeout? Will the cfapplication tag have the effect I intend? Should I try a CFHTTP post or CFFTP instead? How can I get the client url for the CFHTTP tag if I try that?

Any help is greatly appreciated- thanks!

Known issue with cffile why is occurs??? Everyone says it has to do something with the server configuration, when you look at the memory used in NT you will see that it also doesn't free that memory... A strang thing... Even when you place more memory in the server it still occurs.

If someone knows the a way to fix it let me know!
