We currently have wu-ftp version 2.6.2 running on AIX version 5.2.
Recently a user reported that he could not ftp a file larger than 1G.  I
have verified that this is true. =20

=20

If I change the ftp daemon to use IBM's ftp daemon, I can write files
larger than 1G.  So, it is not a limit of the OS or the filesystem.  I
have done some research on wu-ftp and found that the 'data-limit' parm
can be specified in file ftpaccess to limit the size of files.  However,
this parameter is not specified in our ftpaccess file.  My research told
me that the default value of data-limit is 'unlimited'. =20

=20

Is there a parm for wu-ftp that could be causing this issue?  Is my
research flawed?

=20

Any help would be appreciated.

=20

Thanks,

Linda
