How about "curl" curl - get a URL with FTP, TELNET, LDAP, GOPHER, DICT, FILE, HTTP or HTTPS syntax.
or ftp, or rsync.
I must say however, that the 2 GB limit sounds like a compiled in OS or user resource limit. Can your user create a file >2GB on thesame file system? You may want to check that before going further.
From what I understood about curl, it wouldn't do recursive through all of the directories on the other server. I understood that I would have to list each and every file to do it. Not sure where I missed that in the man pages.
I will look into it further. A lot of the people are saying rsync would be best. So I will look into that too.
Thanks Steve
