Thanks all for your ideas.
Clayton, if I could get help from the IT folks in charge of the WP site, I would not be here trying to solve the problem myself.
catacaustic, I don’t want the file on the WP host, I want it on my local Win file server.
The WP site is outsourced and remote. I want these large files on my local Win server which has a fat pipe into it.
It seems I will have to try to solve this without WP.
Thanks for your time and expertise Clayton.
I have no say over the WP serer, they limit file sizes housed there. I do have a little say on the Win server, hence my desire to house large files there.
I have seen references to file:// or file:///// or other od schemes, none of which work.
Is there a plugin that helps?
thanks
Thank you for your suggestion, I am off to look there now.
