Re: Urgent answers needed for FILE UPLOAD problem....

Because of the way the code is currently written, a file upload ends up in RAM before it gets written to disk. If you want to upload 1Gig files, you need >1Gig of RAM. That's crap, we know, and Jim Winstead has volunteered to fix this. Not sure what the timeline is on it yet though. -Rasmus On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, Tim Meader wrote: > Hello all.
