You would have to set up your server to allow large files to be uploaded in order for them to be used by PHP, and by that time, unless you're putting them onto a remote server, there's no point in using the FTP functions of PHP. What I've found quite reliable is to use PHP to create FTP user accounts, which they can then log in to and upload files as they need. HTTP was not really intended for uploading large files, but FTP is, and every OS has some form of FTP software built in that can be used very easily. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
