Well PHP file upload handling unfortunately does require that it go into
ram first until the entire file is received.  Probably a BAD idea.

Have a look at the WebDAV upload system (there is a module for apache)
which should probably allow you to do what you want, although it does
require writing a small client to do the upload (you can't jsut do it
with a form and a standard browser).  There are plenty of libraries
around for perl and such that could allow for a very simple client to be
written to do the upload for you using webdav.
