It appears that the Msftpsvc service that runs under IIS on Win2K Pro has an individual file size limit of 2Gb.

What's that all about then ?

Had to move 28 x 2.04Gb files between boxes today, and could I FTP them over, could I heck ? Best bit was that it transfers 2.0Gb then just stops and leaves you a 2.0Gb file on the GET side.

I hate Windows some days

all ms os' have the file limitation size of 2gig

snowcrash

ntfs ones don't... on an Filesystem level anyway

lol find it funny that they leave the limit on the ftp server tho ..
typical

install a descent ftp server

or just install a descent OS (i.e. linux)

Not **** Just loads of model (weather) data.

Just seemes strange that the FTP service can only take 2GB but you can create files much larger.

Can't use Linux, can't use a different FTP server due to project restrictions.

Plan B is to split them into smaller chunks
