This tutorial will evidence you how to modify the default upload file size in Phoca Download.

I accept a customer that wants to upload a large file, to go far available on his site, simply information technology is too big ... it's larger than what the limits are set at by default with Phoca Download installed. So here's how to change that.

We're already logged into the back cease of my customer's site, and here we are in the control panel. Nosotros're going to get to components and down to Phoca Download and to control console. Once the control panel comes up we will go to the top right corner to options, click options, and and then get to theuploads tab.

Now here's where you tin can set all the parameters for controlling access, and uploads, and the size of files to be uploaded in Phoca Download. The first number of options involve a site that allows users to log-in to the front end and to upload files themselves. If you lot want to enable that, y'all could simply say yeah in this field then the residuum of it is self-explanatory … how many files that an individual user can take, and the maximum size of all the files that they have. And so hither, this is an viii-digit number, then basically 20.9 million bytes - that's roughly 20 megabytes. Ane megabyte doesn't exactly equal 1 one thousand thousand but roughly. That probably works out to most xx megabytes. And then the user file upload size … How much they would be allowed? What'south the biggest file they could upload? And it's 3.1 million here which is roughly about iii megs. Do y'all want to enable the user to be authorized? for it to be public on the site? the language? and if someone uploads something do you want to get an email? and you would click here, and choice the user that would get the email. When something'due south uploaded do you want to update it with the latest version? and the choice for play or preview a copy of what is uploaded. You tin can read all the descriptions in hither.

At present here nosotros become to "maximum upload size administration" and this is where my customer wants to change the amount for their file. So right now it's gear up for this 3.145728, which is three megabytes. He wants to upload a file that is 34 megabytes. So, what we do here is type in 36 megabytes - that'south 36 million bytes - and that's okay, it doesn't have to be an exact number. If y'all really desire to make sure that you lot're covered you could go to Google, enquire how many bytes in a megabyte so set your number high enough to embrace what is required. Here nosotros're fix for 36 1000000, so that would be fine.

Now in one case I salve these options my client volition exist able to upload a file equally large as 34 megabytes, 36 million bytes. And the last option here is enable multiple upload administration.

When you're uploading files in Phoca Download you can do them one at a time or you tin give anyone logged in as an administrator permission to upload multiple files at a fourth dimension.

So, this expanse in the Phoca Download configuration area uploads is where you can control and fix the size of files being uploaded to Phoca Download. Every bit soon as I click salve and close that number will be in at that place, and my client volition be able to upload the big files and y'all'll be able to besides, if you set the number high enough for the file that y'all want to upload… keeping in mind one last affair.

The files that you upload count towards the amount of storage in your web hosting business relationship so yous might reach the maximum space allowed for your web hosting account, which may mean you're not allowed to upload anymore, or you'll be charged for overages. So, when y'all're uploading things, just remember to keep track of how much storage y'all accept and what it might cost y'all. Yous may desire to remove some things that you no longer need. Or maybe your site is just and then pop. And so you demand a larger web hosting package anyways to brand space for everything that you're offering.

So that's how to change the upload limits in Phoca Download and a quick tour of a bunch of other settings as well. I hope that helps you.
