FTP file transfer - file 'shrunk' from 7GB to 2 GB with filezilla
I am trying to move what a win 7 machine says is about 7GB to a windows xp machine. using filezilla server on the xp machine and filezilla portable on the win 7 machine, I move the file.
while transferring, it says the file is 7GB. the % moved at 25% says that 1.8GB have been moved and it took about 8 hours over a logmein Hamachi vpn (the machines are miles apart)
when the file is done, win xp says the file is about 2GB.
Any thoughts on why that happened? the file is a shadowProtect .spi file. It is not a valid file after the move, so it's not the same file as before / not just a difference of OS and how they display file size.

Filezilla by default keeps a detailed log file. Can you put it up?
I mean the server log, usually at C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server\Logs (choose the correct date).

Sounded good, but no, it's NTFS. I thought fat32 was 4Gb max, now that you mention this, but again, it's an ntfs drive
and I just moved another 7 gb file from 1 local drive to the other local drive at that remote location. shows 7GB, so it's not fat32 / ntfs issue?
