Hi all, I am new to this list. I have been struggling with a problem of ftping a couple of larger than 2GB files from my old *bsd web server to my new Debian-based system. I seem to be hitting the 2GB limit with both ftp (ftp login to the other machine, wu-ftpd and openbsd-ftpd (ftp login from the other machine).
I personally rarely use ftp to transfer files. In your position I'd be using scp (part of the ssh package) and for sure multi-gigabite files are no problem with scp.
To copy from your bsd box, assuming ssh is installed in both places: scp bdsbox:/var/dirty-big-file /tmp or scp /var/dirty-big-file linuxbox:/tmp for more: man scp -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au Z1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/
