I'm developing a wordpress blog for a client (who has very little computer and internet experience). In this blog, videos and zips files will be available for download.
Thinking that these files may vary greatly in size (up to 350MB) I've been looking for a way to do this upload (by wp-admin) without having to increase max_upload_size on the server or timeout because I believe not be the best option.
Searching in various places I see that most people do the upload via FTP and use a plugin that takes the files that are on the machine and put it on the blog, but I believe this is something very difficult for someone with no experience.
I found a single plugin ( link ) that only in its paid version does this upload in a satisfactory way but due to find only one plugin and not find many people using I was left with a foot behind.
Is this plugin reliable? Are there any other plugins that do this and is it mostly used? This (upload large files to make available in wordpress) is a bad approach so there is little about it?
