  Problem Uploading huge files(200mb)

  Apr 06, 2012 12:15 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am working on an application that needs to be able to upload huge files.

  Files that can be up to 200mb.

  I need to know what I need to do to make the upload work with big files.

  I already set up  the maxRequestLength="200000" in the web config.

  And this is the code I am working with: (I am working with asp.net and c#)

  protected void btnIns_Click(object sender,ImageClickEventArgs e) {
          try {
          string documentName=txtDocName.Text;
          //fPath="~\\foldername\\"+ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["folderfor file"].ToString();
          SqlDateTime mfDate=(Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()));
  
          myclass mf=new myclass ();
          string strFileName=fupdDoc.FileName;
          string filePath=fPath+strFileName;
          string fileExtension=Path.GetExtension(fupdDoc.FileName);
          string uName=User.Identity.Name.ToString();
  
          if(fupdDoc.PostedFile!=null) {
          if(fupdDoc.HasFile) {
          DeleteFile(strFileName);
  
          string FileName=Path.GetFileName(fupdDoc.PostedFile.FileName);
          fupdDoc.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(fPath+FileName));
  
          mf.Name=txtDocName.Text;
          mf.Url=filePath;
          mf.Type=fileExtension;
          mf.Active=ckPub.SelectedValue;
          mf.Date=mfDate;
  
          mf.Insert();
          
          //Displays a confirmation message.
          MsgConfirm();
  
          }
  
          }
  
          } catch(Exception ex) {
              lblErr.Text=ex.Message;
          }
  
          }

  Thanks.

  I think you have to multiply that by 1024 to get the right size. You're saying 200,000 bytes not 200,000,000. Check out this article:

  I stand corrected. That value is in kb. However, I think you may be running into some default of 29 Megs. With IIS 7+, you have to do a couple things to get around the limit. Take a look at this thread on teh IIS forums. Hope it helps you!

  Even though if you set up maxrequestlength, i do see some problems with large fileuploads, read it here - http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/01/08/large-file-uploads-in-asp-net.aspx

  Please review some other options what Jon mentioned in that link..

  Thanks,
