uploading demo data

Hi, I’m struggling with uploading demo data using hostgator, I don’t know if you may have come across this, and I have been in contact with hostgator support and the claim that on the plan I have I cannot update the php settings to allow for the requirements as per you recommendations.

Is there any other way I can upload the demo data for instance ftp if you provide me with the files. I’m still trying to see if I can get a work around with hostgator because I find this kind of ridiculous, they now want me to upgrade to a dedicated server and that is way out of budget.

Please adivse….thanks.
