Hi im trying to attach large files to my blog posts in drupalaround 40-50 megs. My php or drupal isnt configured to allow big files like and it would take forever to upload. is there a way i can ftp the file to my webhost then attach it to my blog post? they must be attached because i want them to get linked to the Rss feed of the blog because this is a podcast type thing

You could FTP them to a web-accessible location, then manually create a link to them.

The problem is that when you attach a file and "list" it the first file that is listed will get passed along with the Rss feed. Which is basicaly what i want since im doing a podcast.

Hi,

The workaround would be to upload a modest file with the same name, and then replace it via ftp with the large file. However, Drupal nicely displays the filesize of the uploaded file and when its 20 Mb instead of the mentioned 20Kb, well, its not so friendly for the visitors and actually. And its quite cumbersome for the editor.

Isn't there a way around this, like ftp-ing all large files, and then selecting then from a list?
