Is there a maximum file size for uploads? How about directory management? Thanks ahead of time. I have looked around but only can find the one screencap and some random info, nothing showing what I am looking for though.

New Files section will display max upload size. It reads PHP config values in order to find out what is the max size of the file that PHP will accept.

So its based on the server it's running on, not on like a 10mb file size limit for HTTP transfers?

Yes. It depends on your server configuration. aC itself does not put any limit to size of files that can be uploaded.

What does it take into account? Couldn't PHP transfer any file size as long as there was enough memory to complete the task with the temp file and the final file?

There are two PHP directives that limit the max file size:
* upload_max_filesize
* post_max_size
aC will check them and display the lesser value.
What file sizes are you interested in?
* upload_max_filesize
* post_max_size

Upwards of 50 megs sometimes. Full print-resolution photoshop files.

Hm, that seams kind of hard for browser to handle. Browser will most probably crash or stop responding. You can set up PHP to handle pretty large files… Just put a new value in php.ini and you are ready to go.

You should also double check what the timeout setting in your web server is set to.
I don't remember what the default is, but it is probably too small to allow you to upload files that big.

I assume the values described above apply to download sizes, too, right? I changed them to allow for 50MB (I think) but users are not able to download without timing out. Can someone advise on how to fix this? I've got really large PDF files that need to be uploaded/downloaded.
Thanks,
