Re: How does IIS handle upload file

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Cached in memory for the download duration in general.

I believe this because I once deleted a 20 some meg zip file while I was
downloading it from the web server where I deleted it from. (Deleted from
the file system on the server.)

The download came just fine. (Luckily for me, I had already "cleaned up"
the unzipped version and would have had a problem had I not gotten the
file.) So, I think once the request is made the data is cached into memory
off disk and sent. The next HTTP request though should cause a read off the
disk again (for the new version or a 404 depending on what you are doing).

Depending on the size and the specific settings for IIS though, you might
run into issues, especially if the files are really large.

If these are images and HTML and so on, you might have people caching stuff
if they had been there earlier in the day.

Anyone who knows how IIS handle active connections when I update an
existing
file on our FTP server?

What happens when I update an existing file that other people are already
started downloading? Does their connection get reset or does IIS handle
existing downloads to complete before the old file is deleted from the
server.
We are updating files many times every day but don't want to interrupt
active download.

Is there any possibility to configure how IIS should handle this?

System:
Windows server 2003 SP1
IIS 6.0
