Does anyone know of a free file upload script with a progress bar or progress report in some form that can upload .wmv files as large as 300mb?

If you're looking for something in PHP there is going to be quite a few issues you'll probably run into.

your looking at more cgi than you are ajax tbh Check the internet, iirc there is apache extensions for php now and there is cgi scripts online. Or you can invest in a flash developer for it

William is spot on, you'll need very little AJAX on the website, while most of it will be down to, typically, PERL as PERL can read raw HTTP headers, while PHP is somewhat limited there unless you use a PHP stream-wrapper like so:

PHP Code:
$szData file_get_contents('php://input'); 
Although PERL is definitely the way forward. But to answer your question directly, I know of no such free script that would suit your requirement.

300mb would run into a timeout issue, 300mb will take a long time to upload.

Precisely. That's why he'd need a dedicated server, no host on this planet is silly enough to allow a 300MB to be uploaded to their server via HTTP. You'd need to edit Apache's and PHP's configuration files to have a very lengthy timeout value.

When you take a look at this situation logically, HTTP was never designed to send data in excess of around 50MB. If you do wish to upload 300MB files then either use HTTP's PUT method from a standalone application which you could create, which Apache supports with some simple configuring. Alternatively, the more sensible solution, allow the upload via FTP to a user's personal space that is created by your PHP script when they sign up.

The advantages for FTP upload are pellucid, however, one advantage I can see that really sticks its head above the sand, is that you can resume files over FTP if something should go wrong with the transfer.

Google for uber uploader. It uses cgi and php to upload large files to a website. It by passes the file size limits via cgi. You might want to ask your web host if they allow this before using it. Could get you banned from your hosting.

If you want to do this in PHP you will most definitely run into a timeout error. Your best bet is to do an FTP upload using PHP/CGI. HTTP will cause many issues and extensive server load.
