Dear Sir,

  We are evaluating your PowerTCP FTP for .NET software, it's quite interesting. We are
using PowerTCP software for our web application development. We have the following requirements

for our application, we would like to know whether PowerTCP can help us to accomplish those

requirements.

  We have listed down our requirements below :-

  1. We would like to upload file with more than 30 MB size from web browser to our web server.
  2. Is it possible to upload files from the browser without using INPUT tag with FILE as it's
   type.
  3. From web browser we would like to display file upload progress bar, which should be
   refreshed automatically from time to time as the upload progresses.

  We evaluated your ASP.NET sample application provided along with the TRIAL software. We
found that the sample application uses INPUT Tag with FILE type to upload a file to
web server. In server-side scripting, you have used PostedFile attribute of INPUT element
to retrieve the file sent by the web browser and save it by placing the contents in
a stream.

  This sample application prevents us from uploading a file larger than 1 MB size and it uses

html INPUT element with FILE type to upload files. We already have experience of working
with INPUT element using FILE type to upload files using vb.net methods, this method has got some

inherent problems like from intranet we are allowed upload large files by setting appropriate

values in web.config file. When we execute the same application from internet response is very

poor and web server gives up after attempting to upload a file for a long time.

  We would like to have your feedback on the above areas to proceed further, we are
awaiting for your reply, thank you.

Regards,
Devendran R.

1) You can upload any file up to 2 GB from a .NET application. The sample FTP client cuts off the upload size at 1 MB, to reduce strain on our sample server. Be sure to add the following line

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="8192" />

to your web.config to increase the max upload size (this entry increases it to 8 MB)

2) It is possible to do things such as this using client-side script. Normally this is discouraged because it makes the user's browser incompatible with the page. Since you are working in an Intranet environment, it is a valid option.

3) Progress is possible, but outside of the scope of the forum. If you would like more information, send an email to jeff@dart.com, and I will send you something to get you started.
