Hi,
Can anyone suggest me best way to upload large files (>100-500MB) to my
ASP.NET web application (IIS 6.0, Win 2K3).
The problem we see with conventional method is that the session times
out, and the entire file gets loaded in IIS memory and things get worst when
couple of users upload 100s of MBs of file.
The solution should also work with MAC browsers.
Any pointers will be of great help.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hello Raj,

The solution is split your files on chank and send them one by one, moreover
u can apply zip filter to pack them
See this articles:

Hope it helps

Thanks Michael,
The DIME stuff looks good, but the example that is shown have a window
application uploading files.
It will be great if we get the file upload utility (DIME) residing on
server, this will make MAC browsers happy as well.
Regards,
Raj.
