. . OK, so I’ve discovered a workaround that appears to work. I upload a small txt file, renamed to the name of the large file I really want and upload it via the WordPress interface.
Then I upload the real file via ftp (with a slightly different name) to the /easyfileshop/ folder. This also works just fine.
Then, I swap names; taking note that easyfileshop adds a prefix to the file reflecting the post number: “postXXX_youroriginalfilename.file”
Whew, crisis averted.
I would still like to know what’s causing the timeouts for those large files though.
