    Default Large Uploads

    Can anyone recommend a way for me to setup so a select few can upload large files to my forum. Files upwards of 100 meg and bigger?

    I tried setting limits for users but that didnt' appear to work, too large of a file via form I believe.

    I tried giving a free ftp program with access but the user has Vista, anyone know of a method or good free ftp program for Vista?

    You can use a browser to ftp files.

    ftp://host.domain.com/folder

    (The user will be asked for username and password)

    Drag and drop the file into the browser.

    Done.

    A quick search on download.com came up with this:

    FileZilla

    It's free and apparently works with Vista. It also has over a million downloads and a five star cnet editor rating. Might be worth a try so far as FTP software goes.

    Ahhh, yes.
    I just tested it and IE7 is a bit different.
    After opening the link in IE7, click on "Page" and then "Open this page in Windows Explorer".

    I suppose you could just start by opening windows explorer and putting the ftp address in the address bar there.

    I'm kind of a purist, so I don't like to install software if it's not needed.
