Check file size before uploading

[GoogleCodeExporter]

How can we find the file size of uploaded file. So that we can prevent the user 
to upload big file (more then 3GB)

!!!IMPORTANT!!!
If you're reporting an issue regarding issues uploading files, please check
the following:
1. Have you tried uploading a single file without using the plugin? Makes
sure this works before submitting a bug report

3. Are you using valid (x)HTML? Invalid markup can stop the form from being
submitted altogether
4. Are you using the correct element names as required/expected by your
server-side script?

OTHERWISE, please remove this message and complete the form below:

This is not something that can be done by Javascript.
It has to be done server-side.

greater then the size mentioned in web.config, Niether client side nor sever 
side will fire.

** SERVER-SIDE VALIDATION IS ALWAYS REQUIRED ***
Please do your own research to create the server-side code you require in the 
language of your choice.

I strongly recommended that you use one of these solutions instead:
- Uploadify
- SWFUpload
