Hi, I have an upload file button on my page, is there a way to check a file size before allowing user to upload file. Right now, if a user uploads a huge file (5 gigs), it would crash is there a file to somehow stop them? I've researched forums and all say that you have to first upload the file and then check the file size with cffile, but is there another way?

Thanks so much,
c

When this is an issue for me, I use SmartASPUpload. Unfortunately, the vendor has discontinued it.

you can try using cgi.content_length which will report total size of
content being processed by the page (file size + page size + other
stuff) in bytes... but i can't remember if it has to upload the file to
the cf temp dir first or not...

CGI.CONTENT_LENGTH is used after the file is uploaded.
