My web application allows authorised users to upload videos using the ASP.NET WebForms FileUpload
web control, which in the past have been around 100-200MB. I had to obviously make some changes to the web.config
so that files of this size could be uploaded.
However, the authorised users now want to upload video files which are 500MB+
The maxAllowedContentLength
has now been set to 629145600
(600MB).
However, when uploading the videos, after a while the page responds with:
Page not found
This only happens with large videos, so I know this issue has something to do with the file size.
Why is this happening? And also, should I really be increasing the limit to 500MB+? Is there a better way of getting such large files onto the web server?
