    dreamweaver cannot upload files larger than 2gb to remote site

    nahcr Community Member

      I am uploading a set of large video files to a remote site at the University of Connecticut.  I have no problem doing this through Cyberduck. I can also upload (put) files to the  through Dreamweaver provided that the files are smaller than 2gb.  Dreamweaver gives me the following type of error:

       

      WorkArea\VideosUnclipped\100ASL\sara\signs\XX20140703a0789.MOV - error occurred - An HTTP error occurred - cannot put XX20140703a0789.MOV.  Access denied.  The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.

       

      File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.

       

      Files with errors: 1

      WorkArea\VideosUnclipped\100ASL\sara\signs\XX20140703a0789.MOV

      Since Cyberduck is successful, but Dreamweaver is not, this looks like a problem with Dreamweaver.  I would prefer to use Dreamweaver because i am more comfortable with the interface.

      I am using dreamweaver cs6

          Hello,

           

          first, my knowledge is, the limit depends all on your hosting. FTP client is just the middleman. Please go into contact with your provider.

           

          On the other hand it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".

           

          To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.

          Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.

           

          And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:

          http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager

          Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)

          http://filezilla-project.org/download.php

          Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.

           

          Good luck!

          P.S.

          Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.
