1. Filezilla Increase File Upload Size
2. Iis Upload File Size Limit

IIS 6.0: upload and download issues. URLscan is usually located in the directory C: Windows system32 inetsrv urlscan. Navigate to this directory and edit the urlscan.ini file. By default, this file has the entry: MaxAllowedContentLength = 30000000 which restricts the maximum allowed upload size to 30 MB. In IIS 7 there is a lesser known upload file size limit of 30 megabytes. Usually this is more than enough for most Web applications, but sometimes you will want to allow your users to transfer larger files. To do so, you'll need to update a setting in IIS.

Re: File Size for Uploads setting in IIS?

Jan 13, 2011 05:57 PM|cwmizner|LINK

so I have a site called 'mySite'

if I run:

appcmd list config 'mySite'

I get an error pointing to my web.config.

my question now becomes, is there a line you can put in your web.config to overcome this about 30MB iis7 file upload ceiling?

specific info about my problem:

I'm getting a 'The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden.' error on uploading 'large' files (test file is about 25MB).

I put in this code to verify my MaxRequestLength of 65535 (set in my web config):

var config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration('~');
var section = config.GetSection('system.web/httpRuntime') as HttpRuntimeSection;
if (section != null)
{
var maxFileSize = Math.Round(section.MaxRequestLength / 1024.0, 1);
var message = string.Format('Make sure your file is under {0:0.#} MB.', maxFileSize);
}

So it seems this 'other' iis7 ceiling is my issue?

Iis Upload File Size Limit

I don't want to just run the command without some more understanding and ideally would like to just put a line in my web.config...
