Hi Chris... sometimes there is no replacement for a FTP program... but
you can use INI_SET() at in your PHP file to temporarily set the file
upload size. i think you will have to change the time out settings
also

look at the manual on ini_set... also search this list for ini_set

even better... take a look at this http://www.radinks.com/upload/config.php
