IIS7 - how to configure server to serve large (GBs) files?

http files iis-7

I wanted to download some backups (about 4..5Gb in size) via HTTP and was surprised that IIS7 didn't allowed me to do so. The attempt was seemingly blocked - got a 404 page.

Where should I go in the IIS Management console to allow such downloads?


Configure the maxRequestEntityAllowed property in the asp limits sections of the web configuration:

http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/asp/limits

If you have the Request Filtering feature installed and enabled, you should also set the "Maximum allows content length" value in IIS Manager -> Features -> Request Filtering -> Edit Feature settings
