Hi,

Since you mention a new 'Trial' version, I wonder if it is either picking up something from your 'old install', or if the Trial version has a Maximum size limit since it is 'Trial'?

RE: [WS_FTP Forum] Is there a 2 gig download limit?





Hi, Thanks for responding,
 
As for item 1…. it is Win XP setup with NTFS so it should be able to handle 2 terra byte files sizes
As for item 2…. I work with the company that has the server and they have no quota limits set and are check their server support
As for item 3…. Cable modem and there is no size limit, it is just bandwidth
As for item 4…. Looking into that but doubt.
 
Here is the bottom line.
I was using WS_FTP several years ago. The license lapsed and now I have a need for a ftp software. So I came back and just downloaded the last trial and if it worked out purchase it again. I really need this file, I have tried 5 times with 4+ hours each time and trying one last time.
If it doesn’t work will need to find a ftp client that can handle large files.
 
Thanks for suggestions

Just a thought...


Some older versions of Windows used disk formats like FAT, FAT32, etc.. Some of those disk systems had limitations on the number of files in a directory and on the maximum size of a single file.


It is also possible that the host site has some size or timing quota set, I.E. If you take too long to download it cuts you off.


I don't know if any ISPs implement size quotas.


I saw a situation where the packet/MTU size was a little different from what a Firewall was expecting. The firewall would allow about 2 GB of an FTP through, then the packet fragmentation would get so large that the FTP would stop. Once the packet/MTU size was matched up, the problem went away.


I hope one of these ideas helps.
