I'm not sure if this is a protocol limitation or if the client or
server is letting me down, but my FTP transfer is failing. The size
of the file that ends up on the disk is 2147483647 bytes which is
exactly (2^31 - 1) or 2GB - 1 byte.

I'm using:

client: net-ftp/ftp-0.17-r2
server: net-ftp/proftpd-1.2.9_rc2

The session:

ftp> recv backup.tar.gz
local: backup.tar.gz remote: backup.tar.gz
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for backup.tar.gz
(2876603552 bytes)
backup.tar.gz: short write
450 Transfer aborted. Link to file server lost.
2147482760 bytes received in 224 secs (9.4e+03 Kbytes/sec)

Any fix? Or workaround by splitting the file? It would be nice to
not have to... :[

Thx,

-Eric
