While syncing files over 4GB with rsync there is no problem: ls -lha -rw------- 1 support support 4.2G Nov 14 19:46 somefile.data But when i try to download the file it fails:It's entirely possible that either ftpd or your ftp client has a 4GB filesize limitation, yes. rsync is a good alternative for such large files, as you've already discovered.
It seems to be a ftpd side problem...
First i tried vsftpd. We have vsftpd running on linux servers and there is no such problems with them. On FreeBSD i got:If you can identify more specificly which side is having the problem, it's probably worth filing a PR about it. Try using fetch or curl instead, to see whether another client does OK, or try using proftpd to test another FTP server.
426 Failure writing network stream.and the same result. It works perfectly with ProFTPD without problems but i don't wanna use ftpd from ports when i have one in the base...
Yeah i know that but here it is impossible because we are using custom windows ftp client for download on our user pcs.You might also find that publishing the files via HTTP/1.1 so that byte-surfing works better than using FTP.
