Hi Everyone, I desperately need to be able to FTP files 2GB and larger around my windows/linux network. Can anyone tell me how to compile Pro-ftp and Samba so I can do this? Thanks! Seth

Well, if you're running a 2.4-series kernel, and have the appropriate headers for that kernel installed, and SuSE's glibc is compiled agianst those, rebuilding the ProFTPD and SAMBA source RPMs *should* do the trick. Although if ProFTPD and SAMBA are already compiled against a 2.4-aware glibc, it should already be working (theoretically, anyway). Have you tried this and failed? Do you have error messages? 2GB...sheesh, DVD VOB files are only a gig each... ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
