I experienced this condition today (HTTP 404 on large file upload with IIS 7) but I thought I had made all the correct configuration settings. I wanted to upload files up to 300MB so I made the following web.config settings in a sub-folder of the application: <configuration> <system.web> <httpRuntime maxRequestLength=”307200″ /> </system.web> <system.webServer> <security> <requestFiltering> … Read more
