What are you trying to do? Core comes with the upload module and if using CCK there is the filefield module.

Thank you for your reply nevets.

I uploaded my files into server through FTP. I used this php code to download that file.

$file="pactus.zip";
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/zip");
header("Content-Type: application/jpg");
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile("pactus.zip");

Using this code, I can able to download upto 4MB size files only. If my download exceed 4MB files, it downloads that file and if i tried to open the file it shows some error and it could not be opened.

For example:

1) If I download pdf files, then it shows while opening it,

"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"

2) If I download zipped file, then it shows
"No archives to extract".

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,
Revathy.

check the file size after download. I guess u haven't successfully downloaded the whole file due to memory issue.

u may need a professional readfile() function (then the FREE readfile()) to handle large files.

good day.

Thank you mm. Yes my download file size is very small than the whole file. Ya i doesn't download fully. But I don't know what is professional readfile(). Can you please give any reference link for that?

Thanks,
Revathy.

Hi, I just recently use drupal 7 and got same problem with you. Did you find any solution?
The file perfectly fine if I only opened it in browser via link, but always corrupted when trying to automatically download it. So, I guess there is nothing to do with the file?
Thanks.
