The Max size that can be FTP

[nathaniel]

I am working on a project here at the Army National Guard Building. I need to push down a zipped file that is 542MB. How large or the max size that can go through FTP. I need to know ASAP. Thank you for your help!

Probably depend on the filesystem limit. 500MB is fairly small. You should have no trouble.

Hi:

Often, firewalls are set to limit the size. Otherwise, the file size limitation should be controlled by the receiving server's disk quotas, and/or filesytems' limitations (e.g. unless 'largefiles' is enabled, then <2GB for HP).

Are you getting any errors?

Hi
Just for the fun of it I have just ftpd a 1.1 Gbyte file - time taken 29.8 seconds on a 100 Meg network.

So No Problems with your file, although I believe that there is a 2 Gig limit but dont quote me.

there should be no "imposed by FTP" limit on the size of the file you can transfer.

there might be filesystem limits or perhaps ulimit limits. there might be bugs in the ftp itself, but FTP the protocol should have no limits

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

it really depends on your filesystem.
2G perhaps for most default filesystem max file sizes although you can change that..

Later,
Bill

Hi,

For ftp, there is no limit on size for transfer.
Limitation could be set by either the firewalls or filesystems.
