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?

rsync over ssh probably the best way to do it. 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).
