WCF (413) Request Entity too Large

Getting the error only on Uploading a byte[] of nearly 250k but downloading of the same byte[] array are fin using the same config.
I've looked into Streaming but the single parameter doesnt work and these file sizes are huge. I have been able to upload a simple text file of 630 bytes and it works fine.

I have a question about your present configuration. Why you use the absolute service address in your endpoint address? if the service is hosted in IIS, the base address is provided by the IIS site binding module.
Thereby I suspect the current live connection doesn’t use this endpoint address, which results in the failure of the MaxReceivedMessageSize setting. I would like to know what the service address the client actually used is. Only apply the configuration on the correct service endpoint address can take effect.
Updated.
It seems that the above configuration is on the client-side, and the below configuration is on the server-side. Also, the WCF service contains multiple service contracts.
The configuration on the server-side doesn’t explicitly declare how does the service is created. There are neither Services section nor ProtocolMapping section in the configuration file. like the below form.
<services>
<service name="ConsoleApp3.TestService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="ConsoleApp3.ITestService" ></endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"></endpoint>
</service>
</services>
And,
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="webHttpBinding" scheme="http"/>
</protocolMapping>
Namely, it uses the default Basichttpbinding to create the service. there is no way to apply the setting to the right service endpoint.
I suggest you attempt the below configuration on the server-side.
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="mybinding" maxBufferSize="20000000" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" >
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2000000" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />

<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpBinding" scheme="http" bindingConfiguration="mybinding"/>
</protocolMapping>
</system.serviceModel>
It can also support multiple service contracts.
Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.

maxReceivedMessageSize WCF

I consume a WCF service, but I have a problem
The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been
exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize
property on the appropriate binding element.
I have modified MaxReceivedMessageSize, but there is no result (I read many articles in the internet, but anyone can't help)
Who knows about this?

You need to give the custom bindingConfiguration to your endpoint in the client configuration:

issue firing off wcf service to send xml file

I new to wcf however i'm attempting to use net.tcp binding wcf service to transmit an xml file to the client.
I can get up to creating the xml file and upon attempting to connect to my wcf service fails.
I followed this guide http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647180.aspx up to creating the windows test app, i'm using a web project for this.
I have added the service reference to project and below is the code i'm attempting to execute:
public string SendXMLDocument(XmlDocument xDoc)
{
var message = Message.CreateMessage(MessageVersion.Soap11, "Request_for_action", new XmlNodeReader(xDoc));
var factory = new ChannelFactory<IActionServiceLibrary>("IMMS.ActionsServiceLibrary.IActionServiceLibrary");
var channel = factory.CreateChannel();
var response = channel.Request(message);
channel.Close();
return response.ToString(); //this should come back okay..
}

i get a name mismatch on the channel creation.
any help to point me in the right direction for transmitting a xml file through wcf would be great.

I found out that my config file was messed up after fixing the errors it works now.

Why is my WCF client timing out sometimes when trying to connect to the WCF Service on localhost?

I have a WCF service hosted within a Windows service. The client that is connecting to it is on the same machine so I would expect it to take long to connect and definitely not timeout. For some reason when I start the client and it tries to connect to the service it times out. This only happens occasionally, but enough where it is annoying since the entire app relies on a good connection tot he service. What could cause a client on the same machine as the service time out when connecting? Here are the app.config files from the host and the client.
Here is the client config:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>

contract="WCFService.IWCFService" name="WSDualHttpBinding_IWCFService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
And the service config:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WCF.WCFService" behaviorConfiguration="WCFBehavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsDualHttpBinding" contract="WCF.IWCFService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint
address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration=""
contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCF/WCFService/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WCFBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Is there anything I can do to make the client connect better and make the the connection more stable in general? Change the binding? Anything?

Try to add one more endpoint with "netNamedPipeBinding" that was originally designed for local calls.
