If you receive a `Maximum request length exceeded` error when uploading files larger than 4 MB, edit the the `maxRequestLength` parameter in the `web.config` file as follows:

```auto
<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768" />
   </system.web>
</configuration>

```
