Everytime I try to upload to a file sharing site like yousendit.com, youtube.com, etc, it won't let me..it will say "page cannot be displayed".  I've tried it with IE and firefox, proxy on and off, firewall off, and it still won't work.  I connect with a linksys router.  Is there anyway to fix this?

Welcome to the forum hello

splitting the upload into smaller files should do it... I have problems uploading large files via forms as well.

Thanks for the replies.  So does DirecWay have a limit to file size when uploading?  If so, what is it?  The file I'm trying to upload is 25 mb.  Also, if I'm using yousendit.com and I use the secure transfer (https) it will let me upload the file.  Otherwise, it cancels.  I'm trying to upload to a site without secure transfer option. Thanks.

There's not a limit, per say, but the page usually times out with that big of a file.

Do these sites allow ftp?  If so, you can get WS_FTP for free from ipswitch.com.

My wife uses yousendit.com all the time with files as large as 150MB with no problems or time outs. You just got to wait for it to finish uploading. You can only upload as fast as your connection.
