A simple solution….

Open IIS 7 SnapIn
Select the website you want enable to accept large file uploads.
In the main window double click ‘Request filtering’
once the window is opened you may see on top a list of tabs eg: file name extensions, rules, hidden segments and so on…
regardless the tab you select, in the main window rightclick and select “Edit Feature Settings” and modify the “Maximum allowed content length (bytes)”

Now you can upload files larger than 30 MB ….

Thank you, way to go. Why ever I have to change that one file a hundred times, is way beyound me. always having to alter my files (espescially the web.config) after writing them in that visual studio development server is a pain.

Learning how web.config works will help you administer IIS better. There isn’t much available online with this information.

Thanks! Everyone else is having you edit the metabase with cryptic commands that alter the system configs while you have show a simple change to the web.config file. Much superior way!
