uploading a file

[J. Marshall Latham]

I am trying to upload a file to the server from the client. I can
successfully upload a file that has a file size of less than 1 Kb, but my
program does not work if I try to upload a file with a size of 12.3 Mb. I
can't even get the debugger to work correctly if I try to upload the bigger
file. Can someone tell me why this problem would occur? Can you also
provide suggestions to rectify the situation? Can you send me a link to get
information about these kinds of restrictions or other restrictions where
you can do something in one situation but not in another like my file size
issue? Thank you for your help. I am a bit frustrated about this. I built
the app and tested with a small file (I didn't have access to the real
file), thought it worked, and then the testers come back saying that it is
broken. It is broken because I can't process the big file even though my
code worked fine with the smaller file. Again, thanks

Re: uploading a file

The default setting siun machien config are about 4 meg. Look for a section
something liek this and increase accordingly.

<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLengt h="1024"
useFullyQualifi edRedirectUrl=" true"
executionTimeou t="500"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

maxRequestLengt h is the maximum size, in KB, that can be uploaded, and you
cana lso set this in web.config specifically for your application so it
doers not affect the rest of the servers apps
