Hey everybody,

I've successfully made a portfolio-site using Drupal 6 and I'm having troubles uploading files to it. Locally wasn't a problem, obviously, but online takes hours (well, I didn't tried hours, but you'll know what I mean), for small pictures (about 500kb). Is there a way to upload the pictures in /sites/default/files using FTP and enter the path/filename manually in the attachment-system? That would be awesome!

Ow, nevermind about the small pictures.. I forgot to add these lines in my .htaccess:

php_value  upload_max_filesize  8M
php_value  post_max_size  16M
php_value  memory_limit  24M

but what if I wanna upload a movie with the size of (let's say..) 30mb? Is this possible trough FTP? HTTP doesn't seem the right way to do this..

any ideas about this? Is there a suitable way to manually enter the path and filename in the attachment-system? HTTP just isn't the ideal way to upload large files and FTP is, at least for me.

Maybe checkout the http://drupal.org/project/swfupload module. Looks promising for large uploads.
