Media Library large file sizes through Command Line issues

I wanted to make a portfolio site for my animation work with my wordpress site, but I am not allowed to upload files over 2 Mb according to the defaults. I followed instructions to edit my php.ini files to have a max file size upload and a max post size upload to be big enough to handle the right size but I couldn’t use the WordPress uploader to load my 84Mb file even after this. I checked with my host and they dont limit any file uploads. Since it seemed the WordPress User Interface wasnt going to help I resorted to loading the file into the /wp-content/uploads/<year>/<month> directory and editing the file permissions to match the existing files in that folder, BUT I still can’t see that file in the User Interface to try and load the video into my wordpress theme.

…So my question is: How can I successfully add my large video files into the Media Library using the command line so that they will show in the User Interface?
