Hello, when I am viewing the file manager (and attempting to upload a .zip file) it gives me a “413: Request entity too large” error before the file can finish uploading! Does anyone know how I can successfully upload the file? I’ve tried just uploading it and uploading as well as unzipping and either way, it still gives the error! ---

Please unzip the file locally and then use [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client). 413 Request Entity Too Large is a HTTP Protocol error not FTP Protocol error. Also follow this guide if there are any errors from [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client): > [@How to get full logs from FileZilla](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/how-to-get-full-logs-from-filezilla/49303): > > When trying to debug issues with FTP connections, it’s very useful to know what an FTP client is doing under the hood. FileZilla is a very popular FTP client which can provide fairly detailed information about it’s connections. This article explains how to get this information. Enable debug logging To enable debug logging in FileZilla, you’ll need to do the following: Go to Edit → Settings… Scroll down to the Debug page.

Please note that there is a 10mb file size limit on all files. You can either… (A) Reduce the size if the file (Or unzip it if it is a compressed file) (B) Switch to a different hosting provider that does not have a limit on file upload size. Please let me know if you have any questions! ---

Yes, drag and drop as usual! You may also wish to create a folder and place them in there for order and cleanliness. ---

Really? It says if running Linux to type the command `Cd Downloads` into the terminal! I tried that and this error was returned ![Screenshot 2021-12-14 2.59.07 PM](https://forum-cdn.infinityfree.net/original/3X/d/6/d652c5e8ab198032ee8642d75ae8fd62cc637a97.png) Now, I’m using Chrome OS and Chrome OS _is_ Linux! So why is it returning that error? Did I type in the command wrong or what? ---

So I COULD also take the file, create a folder and put file by file into the created folder? ---

Crosh is not a Linux terminal! However, you can install a Linux Virtual Machine to run in Crosh. > [@anon7399662](#): > > take the file, create a folder and put file by file into the created folder? You would need to unzip it first. You can’t upload a 57 MB file here. Follow this ([How to Zip and Unzip Files on a Chromebook | Digital Trends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-zip-and-unzip-files-on-a-chromebook/)) to unzip the file in ChromeOS and then drag-and-drop into any folder of your choice. ---

I will say it again: You can’t upload a file that’s greater than 10 MB. It won’t retain in the filesystem because it’s too large. If you can unzip the file, then upload it and it will be there. Then you can download that directory and zip it again if you wish. Otherwise, use a file sharing service, such as Mega.nz. ---

What type of file are you trying to upload? Also, remember that the online file manager is an online FTP client, it does not work as well as desktop FTP clients. Try unzipping the file (If it is a compressed file) on your own computer, then uploading it. If the file is not a zipped file, you cannot host it here. ---

It is still recommended to upload the file before unzipping it locally on the computer ---
