Hello,
I would like to be able to upload large pdf files onto my site, but there seems to be a limit of 10mb for the file size.
Does anyone know a way round this (will it be possible with umbraco 4??).
I am currently hard coding the links into the html, but this is not very neat.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Olly

Hi, Olly,

The problem isn't with umbraco, but .net.

The 4MB default is set in machine.config, but you can override it in you web.config. For instance, to expand the upload limit to 20MB, you'd do this in your web.config file:

<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="240" maxRequestLength="20480" />
</system.web>

Depending on the speed of your connection and the size of your largest upload, you'd set these parameters accordingly.

cheers,
doug.
