I wanted to upload a .pdf file from my web Application to my server which is shared server on Godaddy.
I thought to use the FTP Upload so below is the code which I used
//public void ftpfile(string ftpfilepath, string inputfilepath)
//{
// string ftphost = "127.0.0.1";
// //here correct hostname or IP of the ftp server to be given
// string ftpfullpath = "ftp://" + ftphost + ftpfilepath;
// System.Net.FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpfullpath);
// ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
// //userid and password for the ftp server to given
// ftp.KeepAlive = true;
// ftp.UseBinary = true;
// ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
// FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(inputfilepath);
// byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
// fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
// fs.Close();
// Stream ftpstream = ftp.GetRequestStream();
// ftpstream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
// ftpstream.Close();
//}
Above code worked well from my Local machine and I was able to transfer the file to the godaddy hosting server.but the same code when I deployed on server gave the following error

I tried to change the trust level in web.config file but Godaddy has blocked it you can not make the Hight Trust.
So I left that idea and used the File Uploader Control of ASP.NET 2.0 and below is the code which I wrote on Upload Click Button
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string filePath = "~/";
string fileName = FileUpload1.FileName.ToString();
FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(filePath) + "Test-brochure.pdf");
}
I uploaded the above code and it worked fine and the .pdf file was getting saved with the name Test-brochure.pdf in the root directory.but in this case my pdf file size was 26kb.
but when i gave the 25MB size file I/p .It din't work In Uploading progess bar it went till 15% then again came to 0 and went till 15% and the page has been removed from the server was coming.
I realized that the problem was of file size
so to make it work for the 25MB file size I added the following node in <system.web> in web.config file
<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="330"
maxRequestLength="33792"
requestLengthDiskThreshold="80"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
appRequestQueueLimit="5000"
enableKernelOutputCache="true"
enableVersionHeader="true"
requireRootedSaveAsPath="true"
enable="true"
shutdownTimeout="90"
delayNotificationTimeout="5"
waitChangeNotification="0"
maxWaitChangeNotification="0"
enableHeaderChecking="true"
sendCacheControlHeader="true"
apartmentThreading="false" />
basically these two highlighted attributes i increased according to my file size .
default is the below in machine.config
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4096" />
and
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10000" />
will establish a max file upload size of 10,000 Kilobytes.
You can change this attribute according to ur file size
You can set this more broadly in your machine.config, too.
