Re: How to FTP big files (377 MB) from PC to IBM i

is the ftp originated from the IBM i or from a pc or other server?
may need to turn on verbose logging in the ftp script
also, if replacing records in a database file, make sure the max records
for that file is big enough
from dspfd..
Member size                                   SIZE
  Initial number of records . . . . . . . . :                 10000
  Increment number of records . . . . . . . :             1000
  Maximum number of increments  . . . . . . :             1000
Record capacity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :               1010000

(and i've moved much larger files than yours on and off the system)

can you show us the cryptic message, and the ftp script?
