ftp from hp-ux11.0 to windows fails

[moiauh]

Hi all,
While doing ftp from HP-UX11.0 to windows, ftp fails. The file size is 146gb.ftp terminates after transferring above 25gb.any idea how to solve this problem?

Any particular error message?
I assume you have that much space?

[moiauh]

have enough space.is there any limitation to do ftp in hpux 11.0?

Are you starting the transfer from Windows or HP-UX?
I would assume there is no limitation for reading from HP-UX and if there were, it would kick in at 2 Gb.
Of course 11.00 is not supported.

This does not describe the software
(including the FTP client and server
prograns) which you used.

If you think that that was worth "1 pts", how
much do you think that your question was
worth? (Hint: Less than "0 pts".)

infact i tried from hp-ux to a windows ftp server and from windows to hpux.in both the case i got the same o/p.

in windows

c:\ftp ipaddr.of hpux server
username &pw
ftp>bin
ftp>cd /backup
ftp> get exp.dat


and same thing i tried from hpux
hp:/backup>
>ftp windowsftp serverip
>username&pw
>put exp.dat
in both case the ftp terminated after some time.

And what were the messages?

Do you have space to ftp the file from/to the same HP-UX system? If that works, your problem is with windows.

Hi:

To assist debugging, I would turn on verbose mode:

# ftp -v ...

It might also be informative to try FTPing your file from Windows-to-Windows as well as from HP-to-HP. That is, FTP the file to yourself on *each* platform.

Regards!

That is a big file to xfer with FTP.. Are you doing a GET from a Windows Client? or doing a put to an FTP server?

Does the Windows box have enough diskspace to handle the XFER?

If you have SSH enabled on your HP 11.00 use an SSH/SFTP client and try to do it with SSH instead. SSH / SFTP has better retry error handling then FTP.
