Webdav. That's pretty much your only option. You can try and play around with php variables - but that probably will never work well. Even if you got php to do the large file, then - if I remember correctly, apache has a 4GB file size limit unless it has large file size support compiled in.
Webdav is still handled by http, so is limited by the same limitations.
There are two options, and they both involve coding:
* modify the file / media datatype to let you browse a specific folder on the server, and use ftp to upload the file there* * Create an extension similar to the ezmultiupload extension, but use any of the large upload clients instead of the YUI Upload/SWFUpload . Most of them seems to be written in java, and they normally split the file up in smaller pieces and sends one piece at a time. So you'll also need to merge them back together on the server.
Large file upload is on the roadmap for 4.3, but thats another 6 and a half month away, and there is no guarantee that it will stay on the roadmap or slip to the next version. * We do actually have code for this, so I'll try to clean it up and make it public soon.
Hello, i have integrated for a client a java applet that allows the user to upload large files to a temporary file on the server an then select them to be integrated to ezpublish as a standard file. Of corse an ftp server is needed, would you like me to submit it as a contribution , or have you find a solution ...

I've created an extension to allow for large file uploads using Moxiecode's plupload www.plupload.com - I've been testing with file sizes up to 1.5 GB using the flash runtime. It's still in beta, but you can take a look at the code at http://code.google.com/p/ezplupload/
