This problem probably occurs because the default value for the maxRequestLength parameter in the <httpRuntime> section of the Machine.config or Web.Config file is 4096 (4 megabytes). As a result, files that are larger than this value are not uploaded by default. It's not MWPSK related, but ASP.NET.

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

In the Machine.config file, change the maxRequestLength attribute of the <httpRuntime> configuration section to a larger value. This change affects the whole computer.

OR:

In the Web.config file, override the value of maxRequestLength for the application. For example, the following entry in Web.config allows files that are less than or equal to 1 GB to be uploaded:

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" />
