“This file is too big. The maximal upload size…” solution

by Kimi on March 19, 2010

Ughhhhhh..I was stuck whenever i wanted to upload video to my wordpress site and “This file is too big. The maximal upload size…” message comes up. Use ftp software such as filezilla, it’s very easy to use.
The solution is upload those “too big files” with ftp. It will work, Good luck guys!

You usually will get “This file is too big. The maximu…” . If you don’t know how to fill in ftp hostname and password, the beginning of this video might help.

I always wished it was possible. Good to see this workaround. Why didn’t think of this FTP upload idea? :P

Yeah i didn’t know it was too simple too. But i notice the downside is with ftp it runs slower :(

hahahhahaa…. nice trick.

And we can also upload files with cPanel. But still, must patiently wait for the upload.

Yeah that’s true, but in cpanel i also had file size limit problems :( it happened when i upload videos. Greetings from Germany, glad to meet someone from my hometown :) btw, did you need long to view my site O_O?

Ouuww … are you come from Indonesia?

In your blog, I do not have problem to access it. Unless access to load the video. Sometimes smooth, sometimes difficult. But overall, your blog’s very interactive.
