Is it fully updated? What size are the files being transferred? What messages do you get? In earlier versions of Linux several utilities (and even the filesystem way back when) had a 2GB limit on functionality that was a feature of the 32bit operating system. I believe that limit has been raised to several TB now. It may be you are getting hit by something of that sort if using an older version of the OS. > Tnx > > -- > Antonio Montagnani > Skype : antoniomontag > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
