NB: just uploading binary files to the right place via FTP is not enough to create in eZ Publish the corresponding content objects. Maybe you will be better off using an import script written in php - when running it via command line (eg. as cronjob) there is no php timeout, and you can set the memory limit as high as you desire... PS: @Cori: Sorry if this answer involves some php coding: I have seen from your previous posts that you are coming from a non-developer background. There are in fact some other extensions out there or some other, easier ways to accomplish what you want. Just be warned that a plain ftp upload is not enough.
You might for example have better luck activating the webdav functionality of eZ Publish ans using webdav access for upload.
Webdav is, in short, a file transfer protocol, just like ftp, but designed on top of the http protocol (the protocol used by webservers to deliver web pages to browsers).
You can enable it in eZ Publish by changing some settings in the site.ini file.
You can then map the eZ Publish server as if it was a network share in your pc and drag and drop your images and videos to it.
There might be more or less problems depending on the operating system you are using - windows is really bad at using webdav, unless you use a very recent/patched version. There is more info about webdav on the site, you can easily search for it.
