[support] Importing large files uploaded via FTP

[Lluís]

Once I used a Java applet which uploaded big files using POST and
splitting it into pieces; when all the uploads where done a PHP script
joined all the pieces.

I don't know if this can be done using javascript, but I think it
would be a good way to go.
