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?

I'm not aware of a limit in either FTP or SFTP/SCP, but I could be wrong there. 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?
