If you are on IIS7, it  has a built-in request scanning which imposes an upload file cap which defaults to 30MB. It gets in the way if you're looking to upload files larger than 30MB. You can increase this limit to 2GB from the commandline:

appcmd set config "My Site/MyApp" -section:requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:2140708864 -commitpath:apphost

Change "My Site/MyApp" to the name of your site and application name. For instance like "Default Web Site/FileVista".


If you are on IIS 6, this limit may be also caused by URLscan.

URLscan is usually located in the directory C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\urlscan. Navigate to this directory and edit the urlscan.ini file. By default, this file has the entry:

MaxAllowedContentLength = 30000000 

which restricts the maximum allowed upload size to 30 MB. Changing this entry to a larger value will allow the server to accept large uploads. You may need to restart IIS for changes to take effect after saving the file.

Hi Cem,

I'm looking this answer but I have a problem I have IIS 6 with Windows Server 2003 and I can't find urlscan directory or urlscan.ini in the directory that you specify and in search window.

Can you help me?

Thank you

Maybe you don't have URLScan installed. What about the MaxRequestEntityAllowed value in IIS6 settings file C:\windows\sytem32\inetserv\metabase.xml ? Please check it's value.
