MOSS2k7: File size exceeds the limit allowed
When trying to save a 170MB file to a document library page, we are getting the following error: "Error 0x800700DF: The file exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved." I havetaised the site collection quotaand made sure it was quota profile was set for the site collection. However there was no changce and I can't figure out where I'm supposed to change this behavior.

Using OM (Object Model)gives better results while uploading big files. Let me know if you have trouble with OM.

Hi Madavid,By default SharePoint allows a maximum file size of 50MB that can be uploaded into any document library. This might be too much as you might not want users downloading 50MB files over your LAN/WAN. To change the maximum file size, here is the approach: Increase the maximum upload size: Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration. Under Virtual Server Configuration, click Configure virtual server settings. On the Virtual Server List page, click the virtual server that you want to change. On the Virtual Server Settings page, under Virtual Server Management, click Virtual server general settings. Under Maximum upload size, type the maximum file size in megabytes that you want, and then click OK. You can specify a maximum file size up to 2,047 megabytes. If you increase the file size limit, your site might occassionally time out for users while they are uploading files. To accomodate this increase the default time out property for IIS. Here are the steps to increase the connection time-out settings: Increase the connection time-out setting By default, the IIS connection time-out setting is 120 seconds. To increase the connection time-out setting, follow these steps: Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Right-click the virtual server that you want to configure, and then click Properties. Click the Web Site tab. Under Connections, type the number of seconds that you want in the Connection time-out box, and then click OK. Hope this helps.... Thanks,Veera Reddy

Additionally you must also modify web.config to increase timeout and filesize.Best regards, Riwut Libinuko SharePoint Architect, Singapore Microsoft MVP | SharePoint Server | Singapore | cakriwut@gmail.com **Please let me know if you need more information** Blog : http://blog.libinuko.com

>here is the approach: Veera, when mass quoting from what I suspect is a TechNet article, at the very least give the source of your mass quote in your reply text Instead of mass quoting, put things in your own words or just point to the URL of the TechNet article with a short lead in (such as "This TechNet article gives details of how to increase the limit from the default 50MB") Be aware that you are probably breaking copyright rules when posting quite so much from an article.
