Upload to SharePoint fails due to upload limit in webservice

Question

Hello everyone,
I just used an example from the web to use the copy.asmx webservice to upload files to a document library:
http://www.ktskumar.com/blog/2009/03/upload-document-from-local-machine-to-sharepoint-library/
It works fine but only if the file is very small (<1MB). If it is larger I get the error "underlying connection was closed". A first search shows that it seems to be a problem with the messagesize which has to be changed. However, everywhere
in the web they speak about a setting in the web.config
Well in my project there is no web.config because I used the example in the link above. No is there another way to change the message size (e.g. by code)?
Thanks!!
Best,
Chris

Answer 1

from browser, it will upload file using server object model. you can change the upload size for same in CA.
as far as uploading file programatically using service, you can run the below script on server and it will resolve the issue
$ws = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$ws.ClientRequestServiceSettings.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 262144000
$ws.ClientRequestServiceSettings.MaxParseMessageSize = 262144000
$ws.Update()
Note: 262144000 = 250 MB
