after changing the max file size, session times, and post max size is it wise to use php to upload files larger than 200mb? reliable? (and this is ignoring whether a client connection is maintained)

edit: done through http not ftp

A: 

This isn't really about whether or not PHP will handle it, I think, but rather how reliably you can upload that much data over HTTP and will your webserver handle requests that will take that long.

I can honestly say I've never had to work in a system where that type of upload was needed so I'm not sure I can provide you much in the way of direct help.

No problem.

We have an up-/downloads site at work so that customers can send print data. And these files can get pretty big.

does your site transfer data over http?

@Dacto: I've never seen an ftp server written in PHP. Would be fun, though. Of course it's http. It's a PHP question.

well idk, someone could possibly send data through ftp protocol via php...hehe idk, Thank you.

I think that major issue is client's browser stability, and client's connection. It's pretty hard to transmit that much of data without any accident...
