FTP - Need to upload large files

[bdeverea]

I'm looking for some advice on how to handle the problem of uploading larger files to my webserver.

On my site I am including a tool that allows users to upload their own images and store them in a unique user directory.

I am currently using a POST method form but the problem I'm running in to is that the connection times-out or freezes if the file is over 1mb or so.

I am thinking about changing my system to use the PHP FTP functions but before I do that I was hoping someone could tell me if this will fix my problem, or if anyone could recommend a better solution.

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked what the max upload size is according to your server's php.ini file?

I have. It was 2M, I changed it to 10M to see if that is going to give me better results.
