Uploading files failed

I am running a website hosted on pythonanywhere. I have developed a new version, and in order to keep the old one while I test the new one I have opened a new free account. I am trying to upload the compressed directory (ZIP file 115MB) but it fails permanently with the following message on my browser.. I can see 1% until 9% uploading and then this message:

This site can’t be reached The connection was reset. Try:

Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall Running Windows Network Diagnostics ERR_CONNECTION_RESET Check your Internet c

Any idea what can be the problem ? What other options are available to test my new version of the web site while keeping the old one running ?

Thank you very much

Hmm, that's odd. We do have a limit on file uploads, but it's 200MiB -- so your file should work fine. Maybe try splitting it into chunks? More information here.

Thank you very much... I use cat to split the directory after compressing it and it worked :)

Excellent, glad I could help!
