WEB DESIGN

Is there a way (maybe a pluggin) that a viewer could upload a large file (100MB) to my wordpress based website. It does not need to be anything fancy at all. It just needs to be a simple way for them to give me the file.

Thanks for you time answer this Warriors

Only way I can think is with FTP. If you want to give some one those details. Or make a temp FTP account for them. Would be easier and probably faster upload.

The maximum allowed file upload size depends on your server/PHP configuration. But, if your setup allows large files of 100MB to be uploaded, you can use one of the contact form plugins that allow file uploading, e.g. WordPress › Custom Contact Forms « WordPress Plugins

Or, use an uploading plugin, like WordPress › Nmedia Users File Uploader Plugin « WordPress Plugins

Your best bet is to do it manually via FTP. Allowing users to upload files of that size is asking for trouble. There are limits for a reason.

  ^^ This. It will be trouble!
  
  Furthermore, as it was said but not emphasized enough for you: this is NOT a WordPress and/or plugin issue.
  
  It is a server setup and security issue. You can talk about it with your host but, most likely, they will not be happy about it...
  
  Thanks

  I agree here. I would suggest a third party source. It will a lot easier.
  
  Sendspace or Dropbox would work.

Use CPanel to upload large files, OR edit file size limit in wp-config.php
