File Size Limit when c,

Posts: 3 · cfreier 16 May 2014, 08:31

I'using the "compare file content" method for a two-way-sync two folders (one on my hard disk, another on a webdav share).

Upon comparing , I get error 223 when it reaches one file. The message is ".. file size exceeds the maximum allowed size and can not be saved (CreateFile)". That file, however, has a size of only 65MB and I would like to keep it.
I did not set any file size limit in the filter tab.

Is this a bug or intended behaviour? Is there any way of changing the size limit?

Thanks

This is an error message coming from the Windows API, not from FFS.

Ok, does this mean it's a fundamental limit or is it fixable by adjusting the API use? 65MB just doesn't seem very big to me, this means that "compare file content" is a very limited syncing method!?

This means it's not fixable by FFS. It's either a Windows or a Webdav problem.

Well, I can copy the file over by hand without problems. Also, the error appears before the comparison, before anything is copied.

I don't understand which step in the comparison is responsible for this. Could you please explain which operation is going when the windows api produces this error?

Thanks a lot!

It seems there is a user-configurable maximum file size for webdav storages:

There is a default 50mb limit in WebDAV. Here's the solution: https://docs.kentico.com/k10/managing-website-content/configuring-the-environment-for-content-editors/configuring-webdav/webdav-requirements-and-limitations

Yeah. Makes no sense. And you have to tweak a sensitive registry value to get around it.
