Re: uploading 1 GB files using FTP from my website

If you want to do it with an HTML form, then that isn't ftp, that
is a multi-part mime encoded form post.  I wouldn't do that
with a 1 gig file if I were you. It isn't as robust as FTP
and the mime-encoding will add size to thie file and time to
the upload.

But if you want to try all you need is a servlet to accept
the post and decide it. The package at
http://servlets.com/cos/index.html
has some functionality for handling multi-part mime data.
