I cannot get past about 5 minutes or so before the transfer fails with "The Server Unexpectedly Closed the Connection". Is there some sort of filesize limitation with this? Thanks for any advice. Rob

  Re: FPSE - Site upload - The Server Unexpectedly Closed the Connection Reply Contact IIS7 on Windows Server 2008,the web application will reject any file that is larger than 30 MB. This is a default limitation of IIS. You can increase the maximum file size by adding the following code to <system.webServer> in the web.config file: <security>  <requestFiltering>   <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength=”2000000000″ />  </requestFiltering> </security> With the above maxAllowedContentLength, users can upload files that are 2,000,000,000 bytes in size. This setting will work right away without restart IIS services.  Hope this helps Thanks Sincerely Microsoft Online Community Support Andrew Zhu - MSFT “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

  Re: FPSE - Site upload - The Server Unexpectedly Closed the Connection Reply Contact Thanks for the replies Anil and Andrew To apply it to all sites on my server, is it appropriate to add that line in applicationhost.config as follows: .........                     <add segment="App_WebReferences" />                     <add segment="App_Data" />                     <add segment="App_Browsers" />                 </hiddenSegments>                 <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength=”2000000000″ />             </requestFiltering> I've squeezed it in after the hiddensegments section which seems to leave the right bits surrounding it. Regards, Rob (and sorry for the crosspost - that wasn't supposed to happen)

The server didn't like that in the config. Short of putting a web.config into every single website, is there another way to apply the setting to all sites? Thanks for any further advice on this,.

That seems to work. I've added it as a new system.webServer section in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\web.config Thanks for the clarification Andrew Regards, Rob

  Re: FPSE - Site upload - The Server Unexpectedly Closed the Connection Reply Contact No, do not add it to root web.config - it would need to go into applicationhost.config, just run %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/security/requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:2000000000 and it will put it in the right place.

  Re: FPSE - Site upload - The Server Unexpectedly Closed the Connection Reply Contact Ok I removed it again from the web.config and used that command. That has inserted the line in the application host.config in the same place I tried putting it in manually, but this time it seems to not cause trouble.                 </hiddenSegments>                 <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2000000000" />             </requestFiltering> Thanks for following this up, it's much appreciated!

  Re: FPSE - Site upload - The Server Unexpectedly Closed the Connection Reply Contact  i was able to successfully update the applicationhost.config by running the above suggested command... "%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/security/requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:2000000000"  and I visually confirmed this by looking at the file. It is there. So I reset IIS and still i get the following error... Log Name:      Application Source:        ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0 Date:          Event ID:      1309 Task Category: Web Event Level:         Warning Keywords:      Classic User:          N/A Computer:      WEB01 Description: Event code: 3004 Event message: Post size exceeded allowed limits.    I am using windows server 2008 64 bit... is there perhaps another place i need to change this setting? I have tried inserting the same setting into several other config files inlcuding the application web.config file, but nothing is doing the trick. Thanks,
