hi
I'm having a problem with large file transfers (2GB+) between server 2003R2 32bit and server 2008R2 64bit
If I attempt to push a 3.5GB file from the 2008R2 x64 server to a network share on the 2003R2 x86 server, the copy fails just after the 2GB point in the file and gives an error dialogue box
"Cannot copy <file>: The specified network name is no longer available"
If I attempt to push the same file between a 2003R2 x32 server to the same location (i.e. server platform matches) the copy succeeds
The same behavior occurs if I attempt to pull the file using the server 2003R2 x86 server, pulling from the 2008R2 x64 server gives the same error dialogue, pulling from another 2003R2 x86 server succeeds
All firewall and antivirus products and services have been disabled to eliminate them as being factors
At a bit of a loss, I get that x86 to x64 allows more RAM to be addresses, but as far as I knew, the NTFS file system was more or less the same ?
Anyone any ideas ?
