Yes, I get errors on both Samba and FTP clients. Once they hit 2 GB
they fail.
I have used the standard ProFTP and samba binaries installed with SuSE
7.2
P.S. I work for a company that streams HDTV MPEG2 files :) its not
uncommon to have an hour long HD program that is 50-80 GB Besides, if I
concatenate VOB files I still end up with a 6 Gig file that needs to be
streamed. :)

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?
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!?

I see. After doing some reading (thanks Mads!) it appears that neither SAMBA nor NFS would work, and FTP is questionable if it works at all. If you want to move 2^64MB files on Linux, you still need a real 64-bit architecture like AXP or SPARC. A moment of silence for the mighty but fallen, DEC Alpha...we will miss you. ===== -- -=|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!?
