I am trying to upload a > 100Mb file (gzipped is just 17Mb).
There is no support for the upload of zipped files.
How can I put my file on your servers?

Are you trying to upload to a splunk instance of to SplunkStorm ?

If this is Storm, you should install a splunk universal forwarder on, configure it with your storm credentials app, and monitor the file to index (that can be zip and larger than 100mb)
see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Storm/latest/User/AboutforwardingdatatoStorm

PS: there an useful command line for a oneshot indexing :
./splunk add oneshot "/path/to/my/file.zop" -sourcetype mysourcetype
