ftp transfer size limited bug
« on: December 30, 2009, 08:51:14 PM »
Maybe it's a bug of bussibox, why file size is larger than 2G, for example 4G, the download process will be terminated by the ftp client, that is you will always failed when downloading file whose size is larger than 2G.

What is the filesystem of the partition you are saving to? Older file systems have a low max file size limit. It is 2G in case of FAT. If you have enough free space on an apropriate partion try FileZilla ftp client.

Hm, CONFIG_LFS (large file, over 2gb, support) is enabled in our busybox config. If you use a proper file system, likely a busybox bug.

Could you do the following:

- build the latest busybox with LFS and the ftp applet
- check the bug is present there as well
- if it is, please report it to the busybox.net bug tracker

edit: do you mean the ftpget/ftpput of busybox, or the "ftp" client from coreutils? The coreutils client is included in the base.
