Is it restricted to upload a zip file? I ask because every time I try to upload, it kicks me back to the main page.

Test of zip upload.

You can upload zip folders, as you can see, I did just that.

However, it does depend on what you have in the zip folder that will cause it to not be allowed to upload.

What are you trying to upload?

I had a txt file, a cpp file, a few bitmaps, a .dll, and a .exe (probably the .exe I bet)

You are correct. We do not allow uploads of EXE files.

It could be a file size issue as well. How big is the .zip?

I believe that is well above the limit that is allowed for uploading. I think that when you add an attachment it tells you the limit that you are allowed to upload underneath the attachment. But it is different for team members, so I may be wrong.

There are soft limits, and hard limits set by the server. My guess if you're getting a white page is you're hitting a server hard limit. Most likely to big. See if you can upload it to one of the many drop boxes on the net.

Try box.net, I think you get something like a gig of free storage for any file type...
