Hi Calvin,

Can you give me more information about are you root permission? or system log file when you try to copy or move file.

What type of filesystem does the file reside on? there can be a few issues with 2GB files on ext2.

Please post the output of:

id
ls -la /path/to/filename_of_2GB
ls -la /path/to/destination/directory

Where destination directory is the directory where you want to copy/move the file.

hi all,

The problem was solved as there was an antivirus installed on the box which doesn't allow large files to be open or altered.
after stopping the antivirus we were able to look into the log files.

Thank you for your support.

Calvin
