SharePoint 2001 File Upload Limit

SYMPTOMS

When you upload a large file which is somewhat more 50 MB to a document library within a workspace in Sharepoint 2001 the upload fails and we see an error "An error occurred while processing your request. Please contact your system administrator for this server" . 

CAUSE

We do have a limit that we hit when uploading large documents to Sharepoint 2001 Server via the browser or Portal UI. We are not going to try to increase product limits in SharePoint 2001. Big files should be uploaded through the shell for best performance. Recommended maximum document size is 50MB . 

RESOLUTION

By design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
