Is there a limit on the size of an ftp upload to a windows box? I have
been trying, literally all day to upload a 2.7GB zip file to an ftp
server running on what I think is an XP box and it keeps dying on me. My
internet connection is fine, but the upload keeps timing out and seems
to be stuck at 2.1GB even though it says it's uploading. Is this maybe a
FAT32 file size limitation?

I would look at what the server timeout is, likely it's not sending
any keep alive messages, so after 15 minutes or so it probably times
out and kills the connection. Might want to try it with another FTP
client, or try using Windows directly as an FTP client, you can
actually plug in the FTP addy in a Windows folder, in the address bar
at the top, using nyah:

: ftp://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Then just copy and past from one folder to the other. That would
probably work best.

...uh, this ASSumes you're using Windows XP, I don't know if you can
do this or not on Win98...I don't remember.

Im using a mac, but I can definitely see the server is timing out. I
will have to go over this with the administrator. They don't usually
receive files from "outside" it's basically a backup and easy access
method for the MRI machine, and not really intended as a method for
gettting files from other sources. They have probably configured the
timeouts based on their extremely fast internet connection internally.

You might be able to kind of "trick" the server into staying
connected. I've never tried it before, but in theory you might be
able to open two instances of the FTP client (assuming you can do that
on the Mac) and connect to the server with both of them. Then, start
the transfer of the big file with the one instance and then in the
other instance just change directories, or copy over some bull***
file, or rename a file or whatever so that the server will still think
that you're connected.
