Enabling Large File Size Uploads

To enable uploads greater than 4 MB, you need to change the value of the maxRequestLength to the largest allowed combined file size for your application. The default value is 4096 or 4 MB.

1.   Open the Solution Explorer, navigate to the web.config file and open it.

2.   Set the MaxRequestLength and executiontimeout values to the following:

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="102400" executionTimeout="3600" />

The settings for the Web.config file should appear like the following:

[IIS prior to version 7]

<configuration>

...

<system.web>

  <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="102400" executionTimeout= "3600" />

  ...

</system.web>

</configuration>  

 

[IIS 7]

<system.webServer>
......
   <security >
     <requestFiltering>
       <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1024000000" />
     </requestFiltering>
   </security>
</system.webServer>

 

This configuration enables uploading of files up to 100MB and upload periods up to 1 hour.
