Storing files efficiently in a database

Is there a way to store the path of a file in a database and the physical file on the server? I have seen many examples explaining how one can store a file as a blob type but few on storing only the paths? Is there a reference code that anyone can refer me to?

Lastly, I have been very puzzled by how some programs like yousendit.com is able to attach super huge files but yet my simple HTML form hangs on a mere 2-3MB filesize.

Please advice! thanks
