I tried sending a 4GB save file to a database file AND to a stream file.
Neither  worked.  I in fact tried many different methods, from copying the
file using Windows and a mapped drive to direct FTP to trying to "cat" four
chunks together.  I even tried the "jar" utility.  Nothing worked.  The most
consistent was cat, which unerringly failed at 4GB-1MB bytes, but using FTP
to the IFS was pretty consistent as well.

Look at the following URL for more information:

Even when I tried to "cat" four smaller files together under QShell, the
best I could do was get to 4GB-1MB.  My conclusion is that the size 4GB-1MB
is the upper limit on file operations using any Unix-based utility,
including FTP and QShell.
