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.

You might also look into WebDav based solutions. There are a couple of modules which might help. One of them is here: http://drupal.org/project/dav

If it is FTP'd you can use http://drupal.org/project/filefield_sources

I am looking for the best way to do something reasonably simple.
I need to upload files which exceed the PHP upload limit (which can be raised, but on shared hosting 8-15 MB is usually the top).
The only way I know to do that, is through FTP.
So, if a user has a big file, he uploads it via FTP, but then has to attach it to a node.
My question is: what is the most efficient or simple way to allow a user to tell a node to import a file from a particular place?
It will need to grab the file, place it in the normal files area, and then delete the one uploaded via FTP.
I suspect I'm going to end up using some mixture of CCK and PHP, but I also can't imagine that I am the first one to need a solution to this problem, so thought there might be some canned solutions out there.
