Trying to download 1x 14GB-file from a windows server 2003 - but it fails when I get over xx GB.

Cant resume etc.

Is this a limit in FlashFXP or Microsoft Server 2003?

I AM downloading to and from a NTFS-partition.

My guess is that it's a ftp server error. FlashFXP can handle files much larger than this. 64-bit sizes.

If it's indeed a IIS FTP-server you're trying to download from there is no need to write to Microsoft (and yes, please be abit more mature and call it Ms, M$ is for kids ;)), because this is a known limitation of their server.

Thanx for info. Any link? I need to know what the limit is exactly :)

BTW: How do you know I'm not a kid? ;) ;) ;)

Well i can't find an URL very quickly but i do seem to remember that i looked up this problem before. Also a session log would be very handy to be sure.

if it is a 32-bit file size limitation (which it likely is), the limit is 2^31, or 2,147,483,648 bytes.

that's 2GB, NTFS is not restricted to 2GB file size ....

we already identified the problem is likely the microsoft server. meaning that though it is reading off of a 64-bit filesystem, it's in-memory or transfer size is limited to 32-bits.

the original question was about what the exact size limit was. regardless of which component actually has the limit, the limit is likely 2^31.
