you are going windoze->linux or the other way? what windoze?
i am sure that the problem is samba and other daemons not being able to
handle >2Gb files, even though the kernel can handle them.
have you tried tar? piping tar over a simple socket as created with
netcat:
nc -l -p 54321 | (cd /dumphere; tar xfz -)
and then pipe into a local netcat
tar cfz - /store/myfilesdir | nc serverip 54321
?
again, for clarification, your files are currently on an ext2 partition,
right?
