Obviously this is some joke or something, since these days a 4gig file is not rare or exceptional or interesting in any way. Can someone answer this question with recent info ? Again, I can see how back in the days of 4.3BSD and SunOS 4 that there would be file size limits like that, but obviously they would not exist in this modern day and age. thanks! > >The most recent version of proftpd (1.2.6 in the ports) provides support >for >2G files...the maximum we've tested is ~4G. > > >On Sun, 2002-10-13 at 09:15, Firsto Lasto wrote: > > I have a 2gig file and a 6gig file on a linux system, and I am trying to > > move them to a freebsd machine. > > > > I have tried both scp and ftp and in both cases I get: > > > > "File too large" > > > > So, how should I transfer large files between unix systems ? > > > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > >-- >John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions >Systems Administration http://www.nterprise.net > & Network Engineering 9616 Pecos St Thornton CO 80260 >Replies to this address are /dev/nulled.
