Ok, solution found.
I recompiled the ftp and scp utilities, ans this (tried ftp on 6GB file, 
scp on 2.2 GB) just worked ok...now i've my 6GB backup on my Debian.

Thanks Stefan, I thought i had to recompile, your hint definitively 
pointed it out.

Thanks John too: I only moved a monolitic 2.6 kernel on this woody, 
which is our production environment, everything else is original woody :).

Regards.
