Server is upgrading…

421 Home directory not available and other file and folder issues

In the last few weeks, we’ve been busy upgrading websites from our old HDD based storage system to a much faster SSD storage cluster. However, this does mean that all files and folders of all websites have to be copied to the new system, which takes time. Initially, this was done by taking down the entire server before copying the websites. That resulted in this outage from last week. To prevent that kind of downtime, the decision was made to not take down the websites, but instead put the ac…

When is the upgrade estimated to complete?

Maybe tomorrow or later. We can’t tell the time.

with this speed it would take a week for 1.9GB
I will try it later.

How to upload big files / archives

What is the file/upload size limit

[Admin]

FTP is slow in general, especially if you have high latency to the FTP server. And seeing how you’re on the other side of the planet (judging by your IP address), the latency is going to be high.

The typical way to work around that would be to upload the archive and extract that on the server. Unfortunately, we don’t have a way to extract archives “on the server” properly, and the 10 MB file size limit is going to delete your archive before you can try as well. So that’s not an option.

I know that this is annoying. But unfortunately, I don’t have a better option for you.

Or maybe just use google drive, archive.org, mediafire or other file hosting that provide large file size because Infinityfree has limited inodes and limited upload size (around 10 MB)
