thinking in split the files in several .RAR volumes... (actually, the

will send his .RAR files instead of a 50mb file), and use remote
scripting
to upload each file separatly.
Eww, nasty.
Any Ideas?
Set the upload_max_filesize value for the directory where the upload
script lives. That would be the cleanest way to allow this to happen.
However, HTTP was not designed for uploading files of that size so you
are better off using an FTP server - this would almost certainly not
involve PHP at all. If security is a concern you could generate a
temporary FTP user from a PHP script that will get removed after, say,
24 hours. How you would do this will vary depending on the FTP server
you are using.
You could also set the ftp account up to be locked into a particular
folder.. so if anyone got access to it, they would only see the .rar
files and nothing else.
Easily done depending on which ftp server you are using but that's way
out of scope for this mailing list.
