Buffer Size Error after publishing Wcf Service to a Remote Server

Question

Just created a WCF Service that sends files to clients as buffer/stream. And testing it with a client project. At first; when I debug the service on localhost, got that error:

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

Since I increased the maxBufferSize and maxReceivedMessageSize values of Client.config from WCF Test Tool; the error was gone. Service returns the buffer with full size.

Then I published the service to the remote server via copy&paste after publishing to file system. When debugging from server and calling the same function; service returns empty buffer.

Here is my web.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext" value="true"/>
  </appSettings>

One more problem similar to this:

Defined an enum just below the Service Contract Interface:

[DataContract]
[ServiceKnownType(typeof(FileType))]
public static class CompositeType
{
    public enum FileType
    { 
        [EnumMember]
        SystemFile = 1,
        [EnumMember]
        Physical = 2,
        [EnumMember]
        Invalid = 3,
        [EnumMember]
        Other = 4
    }
}

One of the WCF functions returns List with a string value and a FileType object. No problem on local test; return value of List has several elements but the same function on the remote server returns an empty List. Can't fix it yet and need help.

Do I miss a setting on web.config or IIS of remote server? Is it about the permissions of server? Should I make any change on my codes? (File System and Database cridentials are correct, other functions are working correctly)

ps. Sorry If I break the rules of typing format.

You have to increase the maxBufferSize on server to resolve this error.

<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="basicHttp" allowCookies="true"
             maxReceivedMessageSize="20000000" 
             maxBufferSize="20000000"
             maxBufferPoolSize="20000000">
        <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" 
             maxArrayLength="200000000"
             maxStringContentLength="200000000"/>
    </binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
