As another Matt said, Cold Fusion can do it. I don't know about the file
size issues he mentioned though.
Just yesterday, I added an <cffile> upload to an application form for a
client - so people can upload their resumes as Word Docs. It's a long way
from 50MB files, but the principle is the same. The <cffile> seems very
flexible and will confirm whether the uploaded file was saved by ColdFusion.
I don't know if there are any timeout issues with this...

Anyway, if i can do it, you can do it.

good luck,
Matt G.
