Maximum file size

Defines the maximum size of a file that can be uploaded in a single BITS Server job. By default, there is no maximum file size.

Delete incomplete jobs after

Defines how long BITS Server will wait until cleaning up incomplete upload files. The time-out is checked every time that the cleanup process is scheduled to run. Use the options in the Cleanup section to configure the frequency with which the cleanup process should be run for this virtual directory.

Allow files to be overwritten

This setting defines whether BITS Upload server lets existing files be overwritten in the virtual directory. This setting is disabled by default.This prevents unauthorized users from overwriting legitimately uploaded files by uploading a file that has the same name. Attempts to overwrite a file result in the second upload job failing. When two upload jobs have the same destination file name, the second upload job fails, even if an overwriting attempt is unintentional. If you enable this setting, you let files be overwritten.

Be aware that by enabling this setting, BITS Upload server still cannot write to files outside the virtual directory, and unauthorized users cannot overwrite the system’s files using BITS Upload server.

Enable notifications

Enables notifications for this virtual directory. The Notification type and Notification URL settings are both required if this setting is enabled.

Notification type

Configures the kind of notification to perform after the job is finished.

• Send the file name: The server passes the path of the completed upload file to the URL that is specified by the Notification URL setting. The server may return a file to the client as a response.
  
  
• Send the file contents: The server passes the completed upload file to the URL that is specified by the Notification URL as the entity body of the HTTP POST. The response entity is sent to the client.
  
  

Notification URL

Specifies the URL to which you want to pass the completed upload file by using an HTTP POST request if the Notification type is Send the file contents or Send the file name. The URL may be absolute or relative. If the URL is relative, then the original request URL is used as the base.

Use default cleanup schedule

Configures BITS Server to scan for incomplete uploads older than 12 hours. If an incomplete upload exceeds this setting, BITS Server automatically cancels the upload and deletes any partial file contents at the time you specify in the Delete incomplete jobs after setting.

Use custom cleanup schedule

Configures BITS Server to scan and delete at the interval you specify.

Scan for incomplete jobs every

Configures BITS Server to scan for incomplete uploads older than the interval you specify. If an incomplete upload exceeds this setting, BITS Server automatically cancels the upload and deletes any partial file contents at the time you specify in the Delete incomplete jobs after setting.

Enable cleanup to limit the number of sessions per user

Configures BITS Server to remove jobs uploaded by a user that exceed the value specified in Limit on the number of sessions per user.

Limit on the number of sessions per user

Specifies how many active upload jobs a user may submit to the BITS Server.

Enable server farm support

Enables BITS Server uploads support for server farms.

Reconnect to server

Specifies the public IP address to use for reconnecting to this server. A common configuration for a server will have two IP addresses: one that is outward pointing and that is reachable by client systems, and one that is part of the inner (protected) network. Specify the outward-pointing IP address here.

	Note
	You can specify a DNS name here only if each computer in your Web farm has an independent DNS name that is resolvable by the client computers.

Use original server after

If a client cannot reconnect to the server at the Reconnect to server for this period of time, then the clients will revert to the original DNS name they specified in the upload URL.
