[volunteergrid2-l] upload errors

[erpo41 at gmail.com]

Would you go into a bit more detail regarding how you worked around the
problem?

In my case, I have a single directory called backup-T61p containing 1451
files, the vast majority around 26MB. I can't split those files into
different directories.

Thanks,
Eric
