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?
The current versions of these programs should handle large files but since you mention that you are not using centos you may have a program or filesystem that does not support large files. 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.
My computer use CentOS 4.3 (since today update). -- _________________________________________________________________ D o m i n i k S k ł a d a n o w s k i
