It's recommended you use FTP instead of your website to upload large files.
The File Manager in Concrete5 allows you to import files from the /files/incoming folder easily.
So, using ftp, upload your file(s) to /files/incoming and import them.

And if you can use FTP just like that, I recommend you to check if your host provides SSH or SFTP connection. If it does, get WinSCP.

http://winscp.net/eng/download.php...
=> WinSCP 4.1.9 Installation package

While you're connected to host with FTP, it doesn't have any protection for your username, password or files that you transmit. Using plain FTP is totally underestimated security problem.

Go to /dashboard
then go to the file manager.
click on "more"
click on the tab "Add incoming"

There you can find the files which you've placed in the /files/incoming folder on your website enviroment.

sorry for being naive but I cannot see any 'more' tab in my file manager..

I can see 'search' 'attributes' 'sets' and 'access' only and in none of this can I find any 'add incoming' tab..

am I doing sth wrong or this has changed ??

For those with 5.4.1.1 the location to add large files to the file manager is now in the Upload Multiple button under the tab Add Incoming.
Still got to add them to the files/incoming folder via ftp first ;)

I am having a very newbie type problem. I've used FTP before, but when I try to ftp to our web site, I continually get an authentication error and can't log in. I'm using the admin login for our site.

Keepingitreal-

Your admin(superuser) login is different than your FTP login. You can add/edit FTP users through cPanel or similar provided by your host.

If you need additional assistance using cPanel, I'd be happy to assist.

Turns out that was exactly the problem. Once I realized that, I was golden. Thanks.

This worked perfectly for me. I'm not sure if it's a different version issue, but I thought I'd reply and mention that I needed to add an incoming directory first.

You can upload a php.ini file and set the upload limit to whatever you want. Thats if your server/host allows this.

It would have a line of code like this:

upload_max_filesize = 10M

If your not sure what this is then I can upload one for you.
