FTP is such an awful protocol to deal with regarding firewalls, I'd much rather
go the way the original poster is and use HTTP PUT for insecure stuff, and SFTP
for secure stuff.

But 2GB?  That's huge... a lot for an end-user to just sit and watch without
clicking reload or something.

I was just doing some of this myself yesterday - doesn't seem like there's a
way to do file uploads with AJAX, but you can easily make a form with a target
iframe... but this is really offtopic for the nginx list.
