Sending file to WCF service, socket connection aborted - wcf

Question

I have a WCF service (server) with a method who's signature is
public void SetProfilePic(String pSession, Applicant pApplicant)
Applicant has the property:
public byte[] Photo { get; set; }
From the client I get an image and call SetProfilePic. When the image is small, approx 1cm X 1cm, it works perfectly, however, when the image is larger, 4cm X 3cm, I get the error below
"The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '01:49:59.9779945'."
I have increased the max limits in the app.config files, however I still get the same error. I am using NetTCPBinding in buffered mode. I have also tried MTOM. Both client and service are currently running on the same machine since the project is still in its initial development phase.
I have enabled message logging and tracing on both server and client side, however no further details are given in the logs, which is not very helpful.
Below please find the App.config files for both the client and server.
My experience with WCF is only for a few months. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Service config on server side should look like
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:9000/RecruitAidService"
binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetTcpBinding"
name="NetTcpBinding" behaviorConfiguration="endpointBehavior"
contract="RecruitAidServer.IRecruitAidService" />
and bindings
<bindings>
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="NetTcpBinding" closeTimeout="01:50:00" openTimeout="01:50:00"
receiveTimeout="01:50:00" sendTimeout="01:50:00" maxBufferPoolSize="21474836470000"
maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="21474836470000"
transferMode="Buffered" messageEncoding="Mtom">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="128" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
</binding>
</netTcpBinding>
</bindings>
