ftp client for over 2 gb files

**caminoix** · 06-14-2005

hello

could you please tell me which ftp client for linux supports downloading files bigger than 2 gb? i've tried kget, gftp, kbear, ncftp and filerunner and none of them did.

Maybe the ancient "ftp"? I'm sure that you can do this with scp/sftp (but this requires you to run ssh, it's not ftp).

could you please tell me how should i do it?

ftp address.. or ftp and then you type o"pen address"

it looks like it sees the correct size of the file but when i type get name-of-the-file, it says:

local: aurox-10.2-1.iso remote: aurox-10.2-1.iso
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for aurox-10.2-1.iso (4593119232 bytes).

and freezes

But you're sure that it isn't the FTP server causing problems?

i've tried 3 servers. should i keep on trying?

You could try with wget

isn't wget just a graphical frontend of kget?

well, anyway, i've tried both of them and none worked. they keep showing that the size of the file is something very different from what i know that it is.

Eh... Kget is graphical and wget console... But really is sorta weird that it just don't work... Stupid Q, but doesn't some filesystems to not support files over a certain size? You are using a filesystem which supports big files?
