Hello,

First time poster, semi-novice with Flash - I’ve had good luck teaching myself the basics and modifying templates to create my websites…but I’m no programmer.

I’m creating a website where I need my clients to be able to upload larger audio files to my server (3-50 MB in range, probably most commonly around 3-4 MB). I have found and implemented Scripts which allow me to upload files via PHP, but have since been informed that my webhost limits such uploads to 2mb. It was suggested I “design my website using FTP Client”. ???

Can FTP programs be launched from my server for a customer who doesn’t have the software? Or do I just need to switch to a new webhost that will allow the larger uploads with PHP?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
