TFS2012 - cannot upload files larger than 5MB

Question

I am running a TFS 2012 installation on a virtual machine (inside Windows Azure). Everything works fine, except that files bigger than 5MB cannot be checked in. On the client side it says: "The request was aborted: The request was canceled.".

On the server side the event log contains an error saying:

I tested it with two different internet connections from two different locations. The Virtual machine has port 8080 opened in the azure endpoint configuration.

Does anyone have an idea?

Answer 1

Through the client side I tried the following solution which solve my problem with

The request was aborted: The request was canceled.

by adding the app setting key VersionControl.UploadChunkSize to devenv.exe.config (%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE)

<appSettings>
    <add key="VersionControl.UploadChunkSize" value="1048576" />
</appSettings>

I figured this from this answer: TFS check in timeout of changeset containing "larger" binary files
Please have a look to the link to get more information.

Answer 2

I think you need to look for deltaMaxFileSize in the web.config file.
