I did what steve suggested here, on both machines. I didn't use any arguments for configure... just did ./configure rsync -Caupvvvz server::myfiles /usr/mydir Here's what happens when it gets to the one file that it says is too big: pathto/myfile recv mapped pathto/myfile of size 1073741312 rsy

Well, I got -further- by changing the fsize= to -1 in /etc/security/limits on my AIX boxes, but rsync ultimately still did not like my 15GB file I wanted to transfer. Had to resort to good ol' plain vanilla ftp. >>> Shachar Shemesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/13/05 2:52 PM >>> Jeff Schoby wrote:
