Hello Vivek,

You can increase the maximum file upload limit by changing the FilesModule property in the Settings menu. Please check the attached image which shows where the setting can be found.

However the setting becomes available in version 4.1 SP2 build 1501. The workaround for versions prior to 1501 can be found bellow.

If you do not have any IIS limitations ( related to file uploads ) you can try adding the following code to your webconfig:

<system.webServer>

<security>

<requestFiltering>

<requestLimitsmaxAllowedContentLength="40485760"></requestLimits>

</requestFiltering>

</security>

Hi Vivek,

Please do restart IIS.

We exposed a property in all versions ( starting from 1501 ), because the upload size limit of the files module cannot be easily changed ( only the limits of the media modules ). You can use FTP or VS to upload your files to your project folder. However if you upgrade to a newer version of Sitefinity you will be able to set the maximum file size to whatever you want.

However if you do not wish to upgrade your project ( which is highly recommended ) you can map the following template to your files module:

markup:

<%@ Control Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Files.Web.UI" TagPrefix="sf" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" TagPrefix="sitefinity" %>

<sitefinity:ResourceLinks id="resourcesLinks" runat="server">

<sitefinity:ResourceFile JavaScriptLibrary="JQuery" />

<sitefinity:ResourceFile Name="Styles/Treeview.css" />

<sitefinity:ResourceFile Name="Styles/Grid.css" />

<sitefinity:ResourceFile Name="Styles/FileExplorer.css" />

<sitefinity:ResourceFile Name="Styles/Ajax.css" />

</sitefinity:ResourceLinks>

<sf:FileManager

ID="fileManager"

runat="server"

Width="100%"

CssClass="sfFileBrowser"

Skin="Sitefinity">

</sf:FileManager>

<script type="text/javascript">

$("body").addClass("sfNoSidebar sfFileExplorer");

$("#<%= fileManager.ClientID %> > div[id*=splitter]").addClass("sfSplitterWrapper");

$(window).bind("load resize", function()

setTimeout( function()

var newHeight = $(window).height()

- $(".sfHeader").eq(0).outerHeight(true)

- $(".sfBreadCrumb").eq(0).outerHeight(true)

- $("#<%= fileManager.ClientID %> .RadToolBar").eq(0).height()

- $(".sfFooter").eq(0).height();

$find("<%= fileManager.ClientID %>").get_gridPane().set_height(newHeight);

$find("<%= fileManager.ClientID %>").get_treePane().set_height(newHeight);

, 500);

);

</script>

you can set the filesize in the codebehind:

this.FileManagerControl.Configuration.MaxUploadFileSize

to whatever you like.

Also the ViewType is:

Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Files.Web.UI.FilesView
