9012.0. "FTP Filesize limit ?" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" ([email protected]) Mon Mar 03 1997 05:56

Hi 

My Customer create with a backup-tool called "hypertape" cpio container files
and copy this files with ftp to a system with a tape jukebox.
There are no problems with files smaller then 2GB. But if the are bigger , ftp

disconnect without an error message.
Is there a filesize limit in ftp ? Unix Version is V3.2d-1 .

thanks

9012.1Check target's filesystem spaceNETRIX::"[email protected]"Brian HaleyMon Mar 03 1997 17:1614
Hi,

My first guess here is that the target filesystem is becoming full.  Pre-4.0
ftp never complained about such a thing, it just truncated the file and
exited.

I verified that 4.0 ftp works.  I know you have 3.2d, but since there doesn't
seem to be any changes in this respect, I'd assume ftp isn't the problem
here, but something else is.

My assumption could be wrong of course...

9012.2NFS version/ 32 bit OS on the remote box..NETRIX::"[email protected]"SriThu Mar 06 1997 15:439
A simple debug 	stuff would be:

ftp localhost
ftp> get file-larger-than-2-Gig /dev/null

This shouldn't have a problem on Digital UNIX box.
