FileUpload control

Gunawan · Mar 10, 2007

Hi All,
I have problem when using File Upload control I found an error.
I think because of the file size more than 7MB. Is it true that File Upload
control can not upload 7 MB file?
Regards,
Gun

By default it is limited to 4 MB.
If the server is not shared, that may be increased via 'requestsize'
in machin.config (with associated increased risks like denial of
service attack)

Alternatively you may consider http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479405.aspx

<httpRuntime> element in web.config and its maxRequestLength attribute

You don't wan't to set it on every application so you I wouldn't recommend
puitting that yo machine.config. Best would be specifying it separately on
page-basis with <location path="page.aspx|subdirectory">...</location> which
allows you to specify page/dir level settings straight away
