upload file .. ASP

[feridun]

I have a website where I am using PHP to have my visitors upload large files. (up to 225 MB) However many shared hosting plans limit it by 2 MB. Their php.ini file is set as max_file_upload 2MB and tehre is no way to overwrite it. ( i tried many possible solutions)
I am thinking to have it rewritten using ASP but I am not sure whetehr ASP has similiar limitations, or any files that sets the parameteres as the one for php.ini file.
Any help will highly appreciated.
thanks

time for a proper host!

the file limits will be set to stop you doing exactly what your are proposing to do. take up disc space and server resources while uploading large files.

Many of the cheap end hosts are often using resold space on another server and will have bandwith limits and space limits. Also uploading files of that size would be more than likely to time out any script if the user was on anything less than broadband. 2m is a probably a safe limit above that and uploading should be done via FTP.

what about chunking the file out into 2mb sections, uploading them in sequence, then un-chunking server side?

granted client side file chunking might be a little involved.

There is no built-in file limitation to an ASP upload situation, since you build it entirely from scratch.
