I've written and automated system that does the following:: similar problem
** every evening a cron job executes on LAN linux and spools of prices
into a csv text file
** The file is ftp/uploaded to remote server on web and a database entry
created to show file
** cron job on remote server
oops forgot to mention reson for cron... Timeouts
processing 143mb can take a long time.
also you need to use fgets to read the file one line at a time..
