I just created a PA from one of my modules and it placed it in the root directory.

Maybe you can FTP the file like you were thinking. I only have one portal on my Dev environment so it placed it in the default portal found at:

D:\5150 DotNetNuke Dev\Local DNN Dev Alpha\Portals\_default

So you should connect by FTP to your root, click on the Portals folder, then the _default (or what ever portal you are trying to add this file too) and upload it there.

Not sure if this works, but worth a try.

Your looking for the httpRuntime in the web.config. Check the following for more info on what settings you can change/add.

Well, I changed my web.config file to handle 20 MB files.  (I set maxRequestLength="20480")  I could not upload the file. Tried many times.

So, I FTP'd it to the Repository directory, did the "file name re-shuffle" (making sure the GUID - or whatever that string is - was intact), and I can't download it either.

I tested the actual link on it's own so it works from the browser - and it works from FTP - just not from the Repository.  Has anyone successfully changed the default settings to upload/download  more than the 8 MB file limit?  If so... please share your expertise!

Cheers!

PS:  How does the Repostiory module derive the file size?  I noticed thah it is not changing with the original "small" file that I uploaded which was  4K - even after I did the file swap thing, and deleted the original 4K file...
