Any file bigger than 2Mb should be uploaded using FTP or similar. There is an FTP add-on for PHP that you can use if your hosting supports it. Trying to use anything other than a specialised file transfer utility for files bigger than 2Mb puts too much load on the server and so most hosting block other methods for files bigger than that (or at least files that are a lot bigger than that). If the command you are trying to use were not disabled for such huge files you would bring all other processing on the server to a halt for a long time while the file is sssslllllllloooooooowwwwwwwwwlllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy uploaded. The FTP upload will use much less resources and will therefore run much faster - probably only take an hour or so while still allowing other access to the server instead of using all the server resources for many hours.

Is this your server, or are you on a paid host? If you are using someone else's server you will probably run into some limitations they set.
