On IIS7 there is a 30Mb upload limit by default. To change this refer to this article; http://www.cyprich.com/2008/06/19/fixing-file-upload-size-limit-in-iis-7/ Adjusting File Size Limit in IIS 7 The problem is that in IIS 7 on Windows 2008 Server, the web application will reject any file that is larger than 30 MB. This is a default limitation of IIS. You can increase the maximum file size by adding the following code to <system.webServer> in the web.config file: <security> <requestFiltering> <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength=”2000000000″ /> </requestFiltering> </security> With the above maxAllowedContentLength, users can upload files that are 2,000,000,000 bytes in size. This setting will work right away without restart IIS services.

Hi, Thank you for this valuable information in an important yet obscure subject. I would like to provide a little bit of additional information for the benefit of the community. 1. After a lot of investigation and trial I came across this post and immediately I pasted the code to my web.config file to find the web site unavailable due to a "500 - Internal server error". After testing I concluded that the text was correct and there were no errors but somehow the quotes were causing the problem. If someone find themselves in the same situation, replace the quotes in the code with manual quotes. 2. One must remember to modify <system.web><httpRuntime>; also in the web.config file. 3. I also read about another limitation, this one is related to UVG, with something called "neatUpload"; also in the web.config file.
