Can not curl large files

curl

I am using the following curl syntax to copy a file to another server and it is working as expected.

curl -F file=@/home/abc.txt.gz http://1.2.3.4/upload.php

But if the file abc.txt.gz is more than 2 or 3 MB in size, it fails with error code returned as 1. Is file size limitation part of curl command or it is just the network issue?

The limitation is most likely in the web server's PHP configuration.

I've been having the same trouble and after poking around a bit found that you can download a package of CA-certs ready for curl on ubuntu directly from the curl dev site.

cd /etc/ssl/certs
sudo wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

Now curl uses the most up-to-date bundle and you're good to go.

Ubuntu – Enabling CURL on Ubuntu 11.10

When you install curl on a Ubuntu/Debian system, it is automatically loaded in your php installation with:

$ cat /etc/php5/conf.d/20-curl.ini
; configuration for php CURL module
; priority=20
extension=curl.so

You shouldn't do anything, apart restarting your webserver or cgi pool, e.g.:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
sudo /etc/init.d/php-fpm restart
