Dear Tim,

the browser uploads the file to the server running your script. From
there your server moves the files into the folders you specified or
ftp's them to another server ...

Thus, YES, max_upload_size will affect the upload. Have a look if your
provider allows perl. There are quite a lot of perl scripts you can use
for file upload and circumvent the php settings of your provider

Have fun
Martin
