WebDAV (cyber duck) and Nextcloud upload fails at 4gb?

[robertat]

Hey Nextcloud forums,
I’ve been having a very frustrating issue for a while now and am not sure what the problem is. I am trying to upload files to Nextcloud using the cyberduck WebDAV client on windows 10. Upload speed always start squeezing at 5mb/s, then slows down over time to about 3mb/s. At exactly 4gb every time in the process of uploading files, it always errors and says cannot connect. I then have to restart it. It occurs on the normal network or with a direct Ethernet between the two, and the server drives are EXT4, so I’m born sure what causes the failure. On a side note, would be nice to have a dedicated client to upload files, uploading 40gb using the web interface causes it to crash. XD any help would be appreciated.

Ext4 shouldn’t have such a limit. But what kind of server is Nextcloud running on? Is it a 32-bit system?

Here is an old thread with the same problem it seems:

Windows client has problems when up/downloading big files (>4GB)

When up/downloading these big files the process breaks with about 4GB up/downloaded. I get a message “broken webserver returning emty content lenght”. After a while the client rescans the folders and the process starts again. Funnily when uploading, the file is mostly complete on the server, but the client is of another opinion and restarts uploading. The download part is another thing. Here no file exists in the local folder after the broken connection. The client restarts endlessly downloadi…

Anyway, there is a dedicated client to upload files here: Nextcloud features that put you in control

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out. I just looked and it should be x64 (and it runs 18gb of ram so should be good there) Is it possible I installed x86 Nextcloud? How would I check that?

EDIT: yes, I took a look at those clients. However, unless I’m missing something, they seem dedicated to syncing over from server to local with a few other things, not a direct “access and upload files” client unless I missed something the last time I tried it.
