Can not upload larger files than 10MB - is this the maximum size of the files - even through FTP? This means that the site misleads users by saying that uploading larger files of 10MB should use FTP !!! ---

In fact, I can upload large files with FileZilla, but then they are deleted - and a message appears in File Manager saying that the system can not work with files larger than 10MB ---

> @herosstudio said: > In fact, I can upload large files with FileZilla, but then they are deleted - and a message appears in File Manager saying that the system can not work with files larger than 10MB As I told you, this is a size limit and all files that are more than 10MB get automatically deleted. There is no way to bypass it. See this article: [https://infinityfree.net/support/how-to-upload-big-files-archives/](https://infinityfree.net/support/how-to-upload-big-files-archives/) in case you need more help. ---

> @herosstudio said: > Can not upload larger files than 10MB - is this the maximum size of the files - even through FTP? Yes, there is a 10 MB file size limit on free hosting. It’s not possible to upload files larger than that in any way. > @herosstudio said: > This means that the site misleads users by saying that uploading larger files of 10MB should use FTP !!! Where does it say that you can upload files larger than 10 MB with FTP? It’s true and has never been true, so if it says you can upload files larger than 10 MB, we should update that quickly. ---
