I've set up a WP site where the client will display video files that are around 1.6gb in size. Ideally I would like the client to be able to upload them via the WP admin interface but due to their huge file size I'm assuming that won't be possible so they will have to do that via ftp.
If that's the case then is there a plugin or a method of getting WP to see those files so that they can be attached to a post?

I used JW player for WP (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/) in the past. I uploaded the video file to Amazon S3 bucket and linked it to my WP blog post using this plugin. There are other ways to do, such as the one you mentioned (uploading via ftp). It really depends on the preference.
You may also try Viper's Video Quicktags plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/).

Thanks for the reply Pothi, the Vipers plugin might come in handy for another thing I'm doing for the site.
The large video files, that my post refer to, have to be on the same server that the site is hosted on so I need a solution that will make it easy for the client to complete the task.
