It'll do 2GB files without a problem. I need to be able to control what
happens to the file on the server side and I can't require any components on
the client side. I figured that kinda eliminated the FTP option. If it'll
do what I want and it's easier to work with, codewise, I'm all for it. But
up to a point, this was working just fine. And research indicates that
larger uploads are certainly possible.

Any good resources for working with the ftp stuff programmatically? And
what would that require on the client side? Could it be automated throug a
web page? Thanks.
