Re: File too Large

Mark,

wu-ftpd built standard has a two gb file limitation.  To exceed that, your
file system has to have support for large file systems (it sounds like you
have that) and you have to enable large file support when you build the
ftp daemon.

Most likely you can do this by adding

-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

on your cflags
