CSV to DB - CSV max size?

Hi, I'm importing products using CSV to DB but I get the error:
There was an error uploading the file, please try again!

It seems like the cause is the size of the CSV file. Any way around this while still using the plugin interface? Get server setting changed by host? Alternate upload method (in the same way as there's an alternate digital download method)?

I've completed the procedure via FTP, but will want to use the plugin interface in future.

Thanks

Some servers have a file upload limit. So if your file is bigger than your servers upload limitation then the plugin can't do anything unfortunately.

Surely the limit isn't 100KB though? How does WordPress get around this as I can upload it to the Media Library without a problem?

Is there a parameter I can ask the server admin to increase?

Just upload the file via the WordPress media upload then specify the URL of the uploaded file in the "Specify the file URL" field of the CSV to DB upload.

Thanks, I'd already figured that, what I was looking for was the "MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" setting in the plugin.

Curious why this is so low? I hit it with a CSV containing just 500 entries.

"MAX_FILE_SIZE" is not a configuration of the CSV to DB plugin.

I totally forgot about that limit. I changed the limit to 1MB.
