Hello list.
Please excuse me this question not directly connected to CentOS. I
have no idea where I could ask about that.
I have to download/upload over 5GB backup file to server (Linux).
First I used FTP client from my computer where I have a backup. FTP
upload from my computer has failed. I think 5GB file is too large for
the FTP protocol. Now I have loged into shell of the server (where
backup should be) and I''m downloading backup file from my computer
through SFTP.
Can you say how big file I can download/upload using SFTP (SCP) protocol?
Regards.

I know I have done some 2-3 GB xfers with SFTP. Could it be a problem with filesystem on the destination machine not allowing files greater than, say, 4 GB?

That said, I don''t believe there is any limit file size in sftp/scp, and I''m unsure about ftp (although, was not aware of one). Regards, Sean

IIRC, wget used to have a max file size of 2GB. Could there be such a problem with your FTP client? 2006/3/22, Dominik Sk?adanowski <dskladanowski@gmail.com>:> > > > First I used FTP client from my computer where I have a backup.

He''s talking about a max file size limit, not a out of space situation. Could be quota''s too. Secondly, anytime you do such big files, it is best to use a package that can restart from the point of breaking. Especially if lines are unreliable, like dial-up.

Earlier versions have been limited to 32 bit sizes or 2 Gigs total. This is not a limit in the transfer protocol but in the libraries supporting file handling that have slowly/painfully been updated over the years. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@gmail.com
