FTP problem on AIX 5.1

[stevkov]

I'm trying to copy one big file from one server to another using ftp. The file is around 2 gigabytes, anytime the transfer reaches around 1 GB it stops and report error abour reaching max file size. As I know Max File Size for AIX 5L is 1TB...

Are there some settings i need to change in order to complete the ftp transfer?

I could use any help or ideas...

Hi,
I think your limit is set at /etc/security/limits. There you can set your filesize limit (fsize).

Change this value and it should work.

(changing fsize to "fsize -1" means that filesize will be limitted by AIX -> 1TB)

It looks like user resource limit.
You may see it using command:
ulimit -a | grep file
or in file /etc/security/limits.
The default value for "fsize" is 2097151 of 512 bytes bloks (approximately 1GB).
You may change this value by using command like:
ulimit -f 4194302

Thank you guys for your fast answers. You both got it right, AIX 5L by default sets max file size to 1GB.

Your advices worked and I managed to solve this problem...
