You don't say how you're dealing with the file upload, I more details a required in order to advise a solution.

Hi there,
thanks for your quick reply! This is THW code oft the upload-code:


<br>
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw ( fatalsToBrowser );
use File::Basename;

$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS=0; # Allow file uploads

my $query = new CGI;
my $filename = $query->param("datei");
my $kunde = $query->param("kunde");
my $upload_dir =$query->param("ziel");
my $groesse = $query->param("groesse");
my $action ="upload ".$filename;
undef $fehler;


$CGI::POST_MAX = 1024 * $groesse;

 $content_length = $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'};

if ($content_length > $CGI::POST_MAX){
erlaubnis();
if ($sonder ne 'xxx'){
$fehler =" Datei groesser als erlaubt!";
goto Meldung;
# custom request entity too large error handling }
}

}

Hope that helps ?
Cheers!

So if you can stand JavaScript, and most people can, you could do something like this to get the file size before uploading. If your application can keep track of how much free space you have, a very basic example would be either querying this when rendering the upload page, or via a call back before you begin the file upload. As a side note your closing code tag should be </code>, rather than <code>.
