I have a small problem. a friend needs a way to upload large files (ie. bigger then 40mbs) to his web server. He aparently had a php script that did this, however he recently moved over to 1and1 hosting and the script no longer works. So he asked me to come up with a method to upload large files. I tried several methods but none seemed to work. I've never really delt with uploading files bigger then 4mbs. So I went to php.net and found this upload snippet that uploads files using ftp. I tried it out and it seemed to work with files 4mbs or smaller. However when I try larger files it seems like its uploading but after 20 seconds it just refreshes the form as if nothing happen. I tried searching in the php.ini for any settings pertaining to php's ftp functions but could not find any. Does anyone know how I can make this work with larger files? Is there something I'm missing?
