    Hello I need to upload 1500+ gif files to site. I started uploading with FTP and then Synchronize Files but then I got a error message, on runtime. Then tried file upload in file manager and got "Critical Error, Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I tried to look at the folder. I could increase the timeout in webconfig but how bigf should I go? Is there a limit on folder size? Anybody got an idea on how to get around this?

    You can adjust the maximum file size and the timeouts in the web.config file. The only limit on folder size is that one imposed by the operating system, so that should not be a problem.

    Did you know that you can put all of the files inside of a zip file and DotNetNuke will expand that for you when you upload it using the file manager?

    You can adjust the maximum file size in web.config.
