First

  • Web.Config/system.web/httpRuntime/maxRequestLength
  • Unit of measurement: kilobytes
  • Default value 4096 KB (4 MB)
  • Max. value 2147483647 KB (2 TB)

Second

  • Web.Config/system.webServer/security/requestFiltering/requestLimits/maxAllowedContentLength (in bytes)
  • Unit of measurement: bytes
  • Default value 30000000 bytes (28.6 MB)
  • Max. value 4294967295 bytes (4 GB)

   <system.web>
     <!--The default size is 4096 kilobytes (4 MB). MaxValue is 2147483647 KB (2 TB)-->
     <!-- 100 MB in kilobytes -->
     <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="102400" />
   </system.web>
   <system.webServer>
     <security>
       <requestFiltering>          
         <!--The default size is 30000000 bytes (28.6 MB). MaxValue is 4294967295 bytes (4 GB)-->
         <!-- 100 MB in bytes -->
         <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="104857600" />
