Wordpress plugin for uploading large files

I’m developing a wordpress blog for a client (who has little experience with computer and internet). In this blog, videos and zips files will be available for download.

Thinking that these files can vary greatly in size (up to 350MB) I went to find a way to perform this upload (by wp-admin) without having to increase the max_upload_size on the server or the timeout because I believe it is not the best option.

Researching in several places I see that most people realize the upload via FTP and uses a plugin that picks up the files that are on the machine and puts them on the blog, but I believe this is something very difficult for someone with no experience.

I found a single plugin (http://www.iptanus.com/wordpress-plugins/wordpress-file-upload/) that only in its paid version makes this upload satisfactorily but due to finding only one plugin and not finding many people using I was left with a foot behind.

Is this plugin reliable? Are there any other plugins that do this and is more used? This (upload large files to make available in wordpress) is a bad approach so there is little about it?

It’s a pretty atypical situation, so you won’t have much guarantee anyway.
I would create a rule to increase the max_upload_size only in the logged in user session with ini_set in the login process.

  • I would not like to do just that because I believe that the feedback for the user is bad. The waiting time is too long and maybe he’ll think it didn’t work.

    can put a feedback plugin with upload status bar, the session will get stuck.. but with 350 Mb upload is not very good.. needs that feedback. if the client does not close the window thinking it has already uploaded and then will complain to you that the file does not go up... own experience...

    @Brenozan, it seems your answer was right...(+1) You can edit it to make it more composed?

  • Just to complement the answer: I have a client that climbs every day images and files from 400 to 500mb in Wordpress by the common Uploader, implemented in the Front End, without any problem - with multiple upload and the status bar working normally. Having a server with enough memory to do the operations after the upload is not necessary any plugin for this, just increase the max_upload_size same.

You can use the Media tab of your Wordpress panel for file uploads. To increase this limit you can change php.ini the field max_upload_size to 350MB. :)
