Maybe $_FILES['srcFile']['error'] has an error code? I would also make
sure you have write permissions to PHP's upload_tmp_dir
(ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') or phpinfo() will tell you where it is).
As for long uploads, you could warn the user that the upload may take a
while, or unhide a "Please Wait" image.
There are a couple techniques for a real upload progress indicator,
some of which are shown here:
