Changing upload handler behavior
--------------------------------
-There are a few settings which control Django's file upload behavior:
-
-:setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE`
- The maximum size, in bytes, for files that will be uploaded into memory.
- Files larger than :setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` will be
- streamed to disk.
-
- Defaults to 2.5 megabytes.
-
-:setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR`
- The directory where uploaded files larger than
- :setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` will be stored.
-
- Defaults to your system's standard temporary directory (i.e. ``/tmp`` on
- most Unix-like systems).
-
-:setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS`
- The numeric mode (i.e. ``0o644``) to set newly uploaded files to. For
- more information about what these modes mean, see the documentation for
- :func:`os.chmod`.
-
- If this isn't given or is ``None``, you'll get operating-system
- dependent behavior. On most platforms, temporary files will have a mode
- of ``0o600``, and files saved from memory will be saved using the
- system's standard umask.
-
- For security reasons, these permissions aren't applied to the temporary
- files that are stored in :setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR`.
-
- .. warning::
-
- If you're not familiar with file modes, please note that the leading
- ``0`` is very important: it indicates an octal number, which is the
- way that modes must be specified. If you try to use ``644``, you'll
- get totally incorrect behavior.
-
- **Always prefix the mode with a 0.**
-
-:setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS`
- The numeric mode to apply to directories created in the process of
- uploading files. This value mirrors the functionality and caveats of
- the :setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS` setting.
-
-:setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS`
- The actual handlers for uploaded files. Changing this setting allows
- complete customization -- even replacement -- of Django's upload
- process.
