Transfer FTp

[Oscar Paredes Alvarez]

Hello, I need transfer larger file by FTP, but this is large and trunk or don´t transfe

[Steven E. Protter]

If say 2 GB tranfers and then it stops, check the options on the fileystem that its being transferred too.

What I mean is that if you try and transfer a file bigger than 2 GB to a filesystem that does not have largefiles enabled, then the transfer will stop at 2 GB.

The fsadm command is used on hp-ux systems to check or change a filesystem from non largefiles to largefiles.

To continue Steven's reply:
fsadm

if you don't see "largefiles", then:
fsadm -o largefiles /path/to/filesystem

You indicate large files and most replies are about a 2 GB barier. With FTP, there is also a 4 GB barier: If the filesize is transfered between client and server, some (most older) clients and/or servers chop 4 GByte parts, transfering only the remainder: a 8.3 GByte file will only transfer the first 0.3 GByte. Here, the solution can be updating the client and server. An other solution is to use an other protocol (http, nfs, samba) or to `cut` the file to smaller chunks and use `cp` at the other end to recreate the file.

btw: as ftp-client, I find myself using `wget` more and more, specially in scripted ftp-s. See http://hpux.its.tudelft.nl/hppd/hpux/Gnu/wget-1.9.1/ for wget on hp-ux.
