We had a very tough time with uploading large files using ColdFusion. It is probably better now in CF8. But it used to always choke after 100MB or so.
One reason for NOT using CF to do this is that is each upload is going to tie up one of your CF threads for who knows how long, it could be quite a while depending on the client's upstream bandwidth. We wrote a little perl script to accept the uploaded file, which then afterwards did an http call to a .cfm page to tell it to process it. -Ryan Che Vilnonis wrote: > I have a client that needs to be able to upload large files via a form on > his website.
