That's a good one, Barbara! This discussion has come up before, and I thought I remembered someone saying that DFDSS will write blocks up to 64K bytes, so I looked and found the following post from Bruce Black. IMO, he is one of the more knowledgeable who has been here. Perhaps this explains some of the issues with using FTP to transport untersed DFDSS dumps.
