Just an idea or thought on it.  You never said what the file size was or did
you?  My idea is that is, there not a file size limitation on transfer to
and from the server?  I thought there was?  Check you vsftpd.conf out or
what ever ftp server your running for the size limitation.  Maybe some help
or maybe not?
