Sounds like ulimits is ok, and that you've got a large files-enabled logical volume, because you indicate that a > 2 GB file works ok with the native OS-supplied FTP client/server. You most likely may be running into the maximum 32 bit file size -- as it's a signed 32 bit quantity, which limits it to exactly one byte less than 2 GB. To fix that, you'd probably have to recompile from source. Which compiler do you use? I know that with IBM's C compiler, you'd add the -D_LARGE_FILES flag which enables the 64 bit file offsets. -Dan
