Hello everyone, I've been searching for an answer for this for a long time now lol Here's the thing : I need to upload big files (50mb), so ---> no php-http transfer of course. So the other option was FTP-PHP. Luckily, the server we use as FTP enabled. So I programmed the thing and everything is great great great....locally... Then I use the same page, but online on the server....and it doesn't work.... So ---> no it's not the time limit cause I set it to 0 which is no limit... and ---> no it's not a limit set by the server because I tried it with little 200kb files and it still doesn't work. so after searching a lot, I found out that "probably", the problem is that FTP is client-server transfer, and since the page is on the server, he seems to think that the server is the client. So when he's looking on the server to find the files I want to send, well logically he doesn't find them because they are on my machine! So then I read that FTP wasn't something I could use.... but here's the thing ---> http://www.net2ftp.com is an ftp "application" entirely made with php, and it works very well online! SO, it means that FTP-PHP can be used to transfer big files from a client to the server, but how??? Even by looking at net2ftp's coding, we couldn't find what they were doing differently that made the FTP functions point to the machine instead of the server!!! So anyway, I hope somebody can help, because we really need to make this thing work... or at worst, can anyone suggest how to upload 50mb files without the actual use of a ftp-application??? Thanks! Chris
maybe some kind of java, javascript, active x or flash application that runs on the client maschine, does the ftp-upload and then tells the webserver to pick up the file from the ftp-upload directory?
Yeah I need something that's not stopped by PHP's ridiculous file size limit... at worst, I need ANYTHING that can upload large files to the server... getting desperate here!! lol Chris
