Does CFFILE have a file size limit? There is no specific limit on file size for CFFILE. However, CFFILE loads the file into the server's memory, so you will get an error if the file size exceeds the amount of free RAM. Also note, you can place a server wide limit on the size of uploads in the CF administrator. Under the "settings" link, see: Maximum size of post data (MB), Request throttle threshold (MB), and Request throttle memory (MB). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah Geren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 1:27 PM Subject: Read large binary file, MX7? > Hello, > > I have an application which uses CFFILE to read a binary file into a > variable, and that variable is used to write out the video to the brower > so someone can download it... > This code is working great, until the file sizes become too large.
