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. -- _________________________________________________________________ D o m i n i k S k ł a d a n o w s k i

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?

Space on the destination machine is enough. -- _________________________________________________________________ D o m i n i k S k ł a d a n o w s k i
IIRC, wget used to have a max file size of 2GB. Could there be such a problem with your FTP client?

Reread what he said. 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.

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).

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.

What about the other end of the tranfer?
