Robert Why not just put up a ftp server instead of using http. Ftp protocol is a lot faster than http for uploading and puts less strain on the server. Windows 2000 comes with a ftpd built in and if your client doesn't have a ftp client they can download a trial from like www.globalscape.com for cuteftp.

They must be able to upload MP3 files to our servers. The files range from 10-20 megs. Before I put this into production, I wanted to test the load it would put on my servers. My app uses witango to accept the file argument, and write it to a file where I want it. I am running Witango 054 and IIS 5 on windows 2000. During the upload, the server pegs 100% CPU usage, dllhost.exe and inetinfo.exe being the culprits. Witango only spikes when the upload is done to write the file. Since I have only used http upload with very small files in the past, I have never noticed this. This is totally unacceptable. If I upload the same file to the same IIS Server using IIS WebDav, it doesn't break a sweat, 1-2% CPU Usage. I can't recall every testing this with other web servers, does anyone else have any info with apache or Webstar? It looks like I will have to write a custom desktop app for this client's admin, which I did not want to do. If anyone knows of any IIS 5 tweaks that may help, I would appreciate it. My systems are completely patched once a week. -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology CTO - eventpix.com 2781 N Carlmont Pl Simi Valley, Ca 93065 ph: 805.522.8577 - cell: 805.501.1390 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ - http://theradmac.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
