upload file that have huge size using asp net framework form

hi all, i understand that we can't upload file to a form with size larger than 2GB using asp net (reference from this link https://www.webdavsystem.com/server/documentation/large_files_iis_asp_net/), can i understand.. do we need to upload the file in chunk using JavaScript to pass the content to our controller?

i found an article, im not sure if this is the right approach using javascript.. https://www.dotnetbull.com/2018/09/uploading-large-file-chunks-javascript-ajax-mvc-dotnet.html?m=1

uploading huge files via http isn't recommended in general

i see.. so it's better to use javascript to upload huge files, is that correct?
Pobiega
Pobiega9/27/2022
how would javascript help?

I've never had to implement a "users can upload giant files" thing myself, so I'm no expert on the subject.. but http transfers are a bit fragile and there is no resume functionality or similar

i see.. actually im not sure what we should use to upload large files, i tried using asp net and upload huge file into the form, the page just not responding for a very long time and end up crash..

can i understand what approach you usually use to upload a file if using http is not good/fragile?
Pobiega

for a large file? Probably ftp or something
Pobiega
Pobiega9/27/2022
ie, something entirely different

It'd be interesting to see how youtube handles it, since they are pretty much the masters of "giant file upload"
Pobiega
Pobiega9/27/2022
its likely some form of streaming the file directly from the request stream thou

and you'll have to also remove all code not compiling
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
like signal
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
or loader
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
or uploadprogress
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
(you can't use that code as/is without cleaning it)
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
it's also missing definition for Upload or UploadOptions
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
or all the UI related binding
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
list selectedFileNames etc ...
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
the code is not "self contained", as in, it's not usable without re-writing it
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
if all dangling variable / UI related would have beeng function parameter it would have worked

yeah but that is not directly usable 😉
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
the code is tied to the UI
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
an tip here would be to move that code away from your UI
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
parameter everything
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
so that your code is portable
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
in case tomorrow you need that in another project
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
all the callback for error / progress for example
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
the input for the file selection also
tebeco
tebeco10/1/2022
the chunk size instead of the 30

last tips, if you had this as a github link they would not have to retype it all manually
