Exactly - 2GB is going to be hell to upload. At least with FTP it can use multiple ports for data transfer. And with a web interface I'd expect users to get annoyed with clicking "back" accidentally or having their email-client open a link using the same window. With FTP you can "background" the process.

Yeah, users would do something like that... I wonder how youtube deals with it? Those uploads take a loooong time.. do users get frustrated and abort the transfer?

Handling the upload in a web server or backend application wouldn't be hard at all though, it's mostly just handling the user that's the problem.

As for firewalls; just use an active connection rather than passive. Job done. You'll loose the benefit of the different ports, though.

There's more to it than that... but again, not nginx related.
