I tried to upload an 1.8 GB zip file to my site and got the error message "Cannot complete upload because an operation timed out. - [-26372:625L1214].
The support of my host, hostgator.com, found out that the error message was specific for the Freeway FTP client and directed me to this thread:
“In case it is of help, the Fasthosts upload problem mentioned earlier in this thread was solved by changing the Output Tab setting for Resources to ‘With HTML files’ in File>Document Setup. Just don’t ask me why!”
A 1.8GB file seems a bit large to be uploading to your site. Users have reported a few issues with uploading larger file such as videos in the 100s of MB such I’m not surprised to hear of issues with an almost 2GB file. If you would like to upload a file of that size to your webspace then your best bet would be to use a dedicated FTP Program like CyberDuck of Transmit.
I hope this helps.

Make a manual link. Use the hyperlink dialog, and enter the relative path to your file. Say you create a folder called downloads, alongside your Resources folder in the site folder. Then just enter downloads/myenormousfile.zip in the external URL field.

Hi Chris,
thank you for your reply, late at night!
But if I am to use an external FTP client, how would I make it so that the uploaded file can be downloaded by others?
Good night - Hening

I’d have thought it would be better to keep in somewhere like Dropbox, with a link to it on your site. Zip it first, to force a download rather than have their browser attempt to display it.
In the meantime, it has occured to me that it might be easiest to bypass Freeway altogether for this purpose, instead use CyberDuck and upload to my public_ftp folder.
The file is zipped. It contains test shots for camera/lens profile creation for PhotoAcute, a (to my knowledge the only readily available) Super Resolution stacking software.
