Michael,

My guess is that you are on a 32 bit system, and the sftp utility cannot = handle any file greater than 2 gig. When you get to 2 gig, it is done.

Same thing for cp, scp and something else I can't recall. Yes, been there done that.

The method I used when trying to overcome the 2 gig limit to copy a file to another machine on the network ( my laptop in this case) was to use netcat.

Netcat was started on my laptop listening on a port and redirecting = output to a file.

Netcat was used on the linux box to send the file to that port on my = laptop.

I don't recall the exact syntax, but it was fairly simple and easy to = figure out after a couple minutes with the man page.

You may want to investigate setting up a TCP tunnel with ssh, and then = using netcat on top of it, as that would give you the security of sftp.

Or not, I haven't actually tried that bit. :)
