WCF Upload File The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large

I've looked everywhere and tried a lot of fixes to solve ths problem but i'm at a loss and maybe its just something i cant see. I have a ASP.NET website with a WCF service which is use to upload a file, i can upload small files (althought 16kb turns out to be 977 at the other end) but when i upload a larger file (150kb) i get an error The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large. I increased the max size of content which can be uploaded but as far as i have read thats all i needed to do. So i guess u have 2 questions: - Why is the file so much bigger after i transmit it? - Why cant i send larger files without getting this error? My Web service is fine but for the sake of it here is the code: ``` [OperationContract] [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "FileUpload/{fileName}")] void FileUpload(string fileName, Stream fileStream); public void FileUpload(string fileName, Stream fileStream) { FileStream fileToupload = new FileStream("C:\\" + fileName, FileMode.Create); byte[] bytearray = new byte[1000000]; int bytesRead, totalBytesRead = 0; do { bytesRead = fileStream.Read(bytearray, 0, bytearray.Length); totalBytesRead += bytesRead; } while (bytesRead > 0); fileToupload.Write(bytearray, 0, bytearray.Length); fileToupload.Close(); fileToupload.Dispose(); } ``` My web.config file is as follows ``` <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <basicHttpBinding> <binding name="uploadfilebinding" closeTimeout="10:01:00" maxBufferSize="204857600" maxBufferPoolSize="204857600" maxReceivedMessageSize="104857600" openTimeout="10:01:00" receiveTimeout="10:10:00" sendTimeout="10:01:00" messageEncoding="Mtom" transferMode="StreamedRequest"> <readerQuotas maxDepth="204857600" maxStringContentLength="204857600" maxArrayLength="204857600" maxBytesPerRead="204857600" maxNameTableCharCount="204857600" /> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings> <services> <service name="sUploadFile.UploadFile" behaviorConfiguration="uploadfilebehavior"> <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="uploadfilebinding" contract="sUploadFile.UploadFile"> <identity> <dns value="localhost" /> </identity> </endpoint> <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> </service> </services> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name=""> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/> </behavior> <behavior name="uploadfilebehavior"> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true"/> </system.serviceModel> ``` And i'm callin it as follows: ``` string baseServiceAddress = "http://" + Environment.MachineName + ":8000/suploadfile.svc/FileUpload"; ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(sUploadFile), new Uri(baseServiceAddress)); host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IsUploadFile), new WebHttpBinding(), "").Behaviors.Add(new WebHttpBehavior()); host.Open(); byte[] bytearray=null ; string name = ""; //throw new NotImplementedException(); if (FileUpload1.HasFile) { name = FileUpload1.FileName; Stream stream = FileUpload1.FileContent; stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); bytearray = new byte[stream.Length]; int count = 0; while (count < stream.Length) { bytearray[count++] = Convert.ToByte(stream.ReadByte()); } } string baseAddress = "http://" + Environment.MachineName + ":8000/suploadfile.svc/FileUpload/"; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) HttpWebRequest.Create(baseAddress+name); request.Method = "POST"; request.ContentType = "text/plain"; try { Stream serverStream = request.GetRequestStream(); serverStream.Write(bytearray, 0, bytearray.Length); serverStream.Close(); using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse) { int statusCode = (int)response.StatusCode; StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); } } catch (Exception ess) { } } ```
