For this answer I am assuming that you want to stick One Gig-o-files using a PHP script. Let me know if this isn't the case. There are two things to consider here: 1. The PHP script time-out (usually 30 secs) and the max-upload (2 MB) 2. The Apache Process recycle-time (look for settings in httpd.conf) You can try playing around with these values. However, it is not good for your scripts,Apache and PHP to stay in memory for such a long time (till your huge file gets uploaded). They simply aren't designed to do that. They are designed to just serve the requested page and shut up. I'd suggest you use some different mechanism like SCP (if you don't want to touch FTP) or rsync over SSH if you'd like the thing run unattended.
