Which folder in the ftp would you transfer video files into so that they show up in the main ps3 video part of the xmb? The file is around 6gb so I can't use an external hard drive to transfer it.

Transfer them into dev_hdd0/video. The video folder must be spelled with lower case letters. After you transfer all the videos you want, you need to turn off your ps3 and go into recovery mode then choose rebuild database. If you use this method your videos will not have the 15 second preview, as far as I know the only way to get that is to transfer videos from a usb drive.
so i can just send as many into that folder, i don't have to make another folder inside video like the system does when i transfer from usb? It makes a folder like /video/hh and then the video is in that folder with 2 other small files that I can see in the ftp.
If you are going to send videos via ftp then you don't need to make subfolders, but if you transfer videos through usb I would suggest you leave them in the subfolder.
