An error was encountered while upload multiple documents in WSS 3.0

When I try to upload multiple documents, an error showed (after upload process ran):
An error was encountered while processing files on the server. Try uploading one file at a time by using the single upload page.
I'm sure Upload Multiple Documents feature was fine when WSS 3.0 just installed. And it's second time i've encounter this problem (last time i reinstalled WSS). Can anyone help me with the problem? Thanks.

Hi Don, two things you might check. Make sure the total size of all your files is not greater than the upload limit set for your web application. Unfortunately SharePoint considers the total size for all files and not each individual file. If you have access, you can check the set limit by going to the Application Management tab under Central Administration and clicking the Web application general settings link. Be sure to select the correct web application once on the page.
Also, you might confirm none of the files contain any invalid characters in their name (e.g. *@/%.. etc).

Really thanks for your reply, Scott.
I, as administrator of WSS, checked that the uploading didnot exceed maximum upload size. And the name of the files are quite simple, containing no invalid character (they can be uploaded one by one, but cannot be done by Upload Multiple Documents).
I've also tried on several clients but the problem came as the same.

How about the logs? Is there anything on the web server in the Event Logs or the SharePoint logs under c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\logs ? (There's a lot of info here so you may need to try re-uploading the files, note the time, then open the most recent log file)

Hi Zhang,
Yes there is problem with WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 while uploading a multiple file at a time given the fact both supports the multifile uploading.
You can upload multiple file by using Explorer View not the default view (All Documents). In this way you can use the windows like functionality of dragging and dropping a file from your folders without encountering any error and added advantage will be the speed of uploading a file. This is the best way of uploading a file to a document library in WSS 3.0 or MOSS
Thanks

Thank you, kr. By your means it is successful to transfer multiple files to server.
Still i hope to find a way to resolve the problem with uploading multiple documents function.

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 6:02 PM>I, as administrator of WSS, checked that the uploading didnot exceed maximum upload size.If you are running on Windows Server 2008 there is a known problem that there is a lower maximum size for uploads than the specified maximum upload size. There's a KB article for that. I don't know if it includes a fix.If you are running on Windows Server 2003 ignore the above !

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 11:31 AMHi everyone,
I'm facing the same problem too and I was wondering if someone had already found a solution for this?
I'm quite sure it has nothing to do with weird file names, file name lengths or file sizes.
In my little "test case", I can perfectly upload two test .docx files, I can upload one of the .docx files together with a .pptx file, but when I try uploading the three files together, I get the "try uploading one file at a time" error.
Any ideas?
Thanks! -
Monday, April 20, 2009 7:47 PMJust so that we are all on the same page....
Tom, what is the combined size of the three documents? The combined size must be less than the max size, the default is 50mb. Also, what is the third type of doc is it a blocked file type? A failure in any one doc due to a blocked file type or size restriction, will cause the entire upload to fail.
Cheers,
Ivan Sanders

Thursday, April 30, 2009 10:19 PMWe are having an issue with file uploads as well. It is a single server install of WSS3 using Forms Based Authentication. I have been through the steps on the following blog post by Joel:
http://blogs.msdn.com/joelo/archive/2007/06/27/file-name-length-size-and-invalid-character-restrictions-and-recommendations.aspx
the max size that I can upload is 29.3mb. When anything larger than that is attempted the browser ends up at a 404 page.
WSS has SP2 applied (problem existed before that) and it is running on a Windows Server 2003 with SQL Express 2005.
Thanks,

Friday, October 02, 2009 5:35 PMyeah. me too. anyone find a solution for this in the last 2 years?
sharepoint blows. please advise -
Tuesday, October 06, 2009 1:17 PMWhat we ended up finding out was the URLScan was applied to the web server. it has a limit of 30mb set in its .ini file. Once that file size is hit it was just dropping the transfer. Bumped up the number in the .ini file and everything works as it should now.
Thanks,

We have the same issue, but only in one farm. Internal Farm, Upload Multiple Documents works just fine. I test upload of 2 text files. doc1.txt and doc2.txt, about 12kb each. So any advice on max upload size is unhelpful. As well, on the internal farm, it works fine, I can upload quite a lot of files. External farm, two tiny .txt files fail (other types fail as well). So WHAT would cause this behavior? It must be either a network issue or server side issue since I am using the same machine to hit 2 separate farms and it works fine on one and is busted on the other.
Anyone have any fresh ideas or find a NON-workaround, actual fix? I know the explorer view workaround, but I would rather look like a competent administrator and not tell the client, oh yeah, that piece it's busted over there. I can't fix it. Do this instead of what you are used to doing.

I have the same issue but it does not happen every time. Within 10 minutes a 60+ file upload of 22MB worked followed by a 63 file upload of 8.5MB that froze. The screen displays 8.44/8.44MB uploaded with 63/63 files at 746KB/sec with a time remaining of 00:00:00 but does not complete. The cancel button is greyed out.
Sharepoint services 3.0 is at SP3
SQL Server 2005 express is at SP3
