Uploading file size

Best method

[josmen]

I have a site where our users can upload files that are 500mb + in size. We have been using a java program to do this. There are some things that we want to do differently and so I have been looking at using a php script to upload the files with. I know with a basic form you can upload and send the file via a POST $_FILES but from what I have read that starts to get unpredictable once you start working with larger file sizes. I also know php has built in FTP commands but I am not sure if this is the best route to go or not. Thanks

I haven't heard or witnessed $_FILES becoming unpredicatable, but then again I never faced the need of uploading such huge files from a form.
