Why are my files deleted after uploading them

Sometimes, when you upload a file, the upload is completed but the file is deleted immediately afterwards. This is usually caused by one of the following issues: The file is not in a htdocs folder All websites files must be uploaded to either the main htdocs folder, or to the domain specific htdocs folder (like example.com/htdocs). You cannot upload files to other directories on your account. If you try to create or upload files anywhere else, they will be deleted automatically. The file type…

How to upload big files / archives

InfinityFree has a file size limit of 10 MB on all servers. You cannot upload files larger than 10 MB. Installing large scripts A particular software package may be larger than 10 MB in size. Because of this limit, you cannot upload the archive directly and have it extracted on the server. However, you can easily upload the contents manually. To do so, you will first need a good FTP file manager for your desktop and setup an FTP connection. See the how to upload files with FTP article for more…

I am just a student and i don’t have money that’s why I choose this host, please is there any other way ? Or can you just tell me a file shearing site where I can share files without download link expaire ? (I mean download expaires under 12-24 hours and that’s the problem because I want a link that never expaires)

Hello @Gamer-King,

I had your problem and I solved it by uploading manually with FTP.
I don’t want to be an asshole but Filezilla is the worst FTP software, I am using WinSCP, no error no connection time out.

That is what the OP is trying to do.

1. please refrain from using curse words here.
2. both FileZilla and WinSCP have the timeout. It is initiated by the server, not the client. And I’m sure WinSCP would bug out from a queue of 2-3gb (speaking from experience, yes).

@Gamer-King, try uploading all of the files in chunks, like one folder at a time to keep the queue size down. Also, your local backup doesn’t include a database backup, does it?

In short, there is a 10 MB file size limit on our hosting which cannot be increased.

What to do with the 2-3 GB file depends on what the file is about. If it’s an archive with code for your website, please extract the folder on your own computer and upload the extracted folder with FileZilla. If it’s a file that should be available to download, please upload it to a file sharing site like Mega or Google Drive and just put a link to the download on your website instead.
