Large File Failed

[jian]

When I upload a file of 500M size to Alfresco Repository using WebFolder, I failed, and the server was giving following error.

What's the maximum file size that Alfresco repository services could support?

Thanks,
Jian

Unfortunately it appears that the WebDav PUT method is using a very ineffcient means of storing file content! This is really a bug and should be looked at - it should write the file to disk not into memory… I have raised a JIRA item to track it:
http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1771

For now you will have to increase the size of the memory you give to your JVM.

Thanks,

Kevin
