How to upload large files

It seems like the web based interface of the cms is crapping out when I try and upload a video file to a news article that is 20 MB is size. I went into the file types and added the video, and made sure the size was large enough for the file.

Is there anyway I can just ftp it to the site and point the CMS to it like I uploaded via the file upload, or just have it linked as just a 'outside' address?

What happened if you add the following line to /cadmin/index.php after <?php:

@set_time_limit( 0 );

Ok. Just set it to 200M, and restarted apache. Still crapping out. It says contacting site, then after about 3-4 mins it takes me to the overview screen.

If it can't handle it, i will just upload it and link to it like that.

Have you also increase the upload size in php.ini? The default size is only 2 MB:
upload_max_filesize = 2M
