Upload file more than 500mb size

Question

I am facing an issue in my application.I have file with 200mb size. I want to give user access of uploading files with size up to 500mb. My config file has following setting for uploading file request.

  <httpRuntime
      executionTimeout="7200"
      maxRequestLength="2097151"/>

Still if i am uploading file with size of up to 200mb connection disrupt.I suppose i have already mention 2 hour limit in config.

Can anyone let me know the best and simplest way to upload file with huge size (Up to 500mb) ? Thanks in advance.

I don't see that the HTTP protocol is made for this scenario. IMHO I would do this over FTP.

This setting is for IIS6 and does not affect IIS7 in case you are using the latter. If this is the case, you should adjust this:

<system.webServer>
        <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="SIZE IN KB"/>
            </requestFiltering>
        </security>
</system.webServer>

The default value is 30000000, less than 30Mb.

See more information in the IIS page about requestLimits.
