I don't know of any designed in limit and have see at least one file of
300+mb up&downloaded without troubles, and am trying to locate one of a
similar size on our network (found a 3g!).  It is taking some time
(10 + minutes, says Windows) to get the file on our server over the
network and I assume it will take at least as long for us to try the client d/l....
 
An upload from WS_FTP client (the test is all within our network) is in
progress and has passed 2gb in the last few minutes...and the full 3.5gb has
finally uploaded.
 
I'm trying a download, and can report that it too was successful.
 
My best guess is that it must be some network limitation or problem as
others mentioned earlier.

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.
