I do not think HTTP and a POST form "as is" is suitable for these kind of tasks, I would rather think about a truly simple Desktop software, Python for portability or AutoIT if it is only for windows, able to split the file in chunks 2 Mb each and open a conversation with the server in order to be able to resume the upload if something goes wrong or if the user would like to. With a desktop application you can send credentials and the SHA1 of the file in order to create it's ghost image on the server. Every chunk will be saved a part and when finished appended via file pointers to the main one. To allow a resume you simply need to communicate the current big file size / 2 Mb and you know which chunk needs to be uploaded. It is more simple to do than to explain, if you got this basic example about how to proceed, but you need privileges over the file in order to create a SHA1 and read only chunks via pointer, rather than send everything in a shot.
