#24 Re: Setting up an FTP server on Debian Posted by Anonymous (198.202.xx.xx) on Sat 21 Apr 2007 at 01:10 This may be newer than your post, but in the pureftp documentation it explains how to transfer files over 2GB: --with-largefile: support downloading of files larger than 2 gigabytes on 32-bit architectures. Transfering so huge files through FTP is a strange idea. And your filesystem has to support it. Your kernel and your libc as well. And of course, the FTP client has to be safe against large files, too. And when this feature is enabled, downloads can be a bit slower (or more cpu-intensive) than without it, due to a limitation of actual Linux kernels. To summarize: don't enable this for fun, just if you are really planning to download files over 2 gigabytes.
