 * Hi, I need to upload a large RSS file to my blog. I can’t because I”m on a shared
   server at Host Gator and the file is too big and triggers a PHP error because
   I go past the 64MB memory limit.
 * Host Gator suggested I upload the file to my server to get around the script,
   which was a great idea until I realized the RSS Import Tool in Word Press only
   lets you load a file directly from your computer.
 * I was hoping I could FTP the file and access it that way but that option isn’t
   available.
 * Is anyone aware of a work around for this?
 * Thanks

 * Hi
 * If you are referring to a WP WXR export XML file, you can break it into sections.

 * If you do mean an RSS file, you can do a similar procedure.
