Re: prematurely terminated large file transfer

Hi Rob,

...

to transfer a file on a LAN versus over the Internet. When I transfer a file
to the remote server, after about 4 hrs or so and 2 GB of data (the time and
volume may vary) I get an error message of a failed file transfer. The
connection stays open but the file transfer failed. Also, all along I have
an SSH connection opened using PuTTy. That connection stays opened as well.
It is only a file transfer that fails. This makes me feel that it is not the
network. I don't know if this is a bug in the code of if I have to recompile

...

Some filesystems / file handling apps (perhaps PuTTy) can't handle
files larger than about 2GB (signed 32-bit integer overflow).

If this is your trouble, you might have to break you transfer into 2GB
chunks to get it to work.

Best Regards

Mike Welham
