Normally you don't see much corruption when aborting an upload but there's always a possibility.

Is the rollback option "Use APPE to resume uploads"? I would like to do everything I can to increase the chances for a good upload of a 8 gig video file.

there is no 'rollback' option for uploads, only downloads.
you might want to use sftp protocol since by its nature of encryption, it ensures that every delivered packet is intact.
your destination server must also support such large file sizes. destination ftp/ssh server might not support it.
your best bet would be to cut up this file into smaller chunks, upload them and then merge it on the destination computer.
