RE: SNADS and FTP limits ? -- MIDRANGE-L

The v5r1 version is in the knowledge base. I searched on the word
"capacities". The numbers I've been quoting come from the v4r5 version.

The TCP/IP Communications values are much higher than Joe is experiencing
with FTP. That's the question, I think. He hits a wall in many ways, 1 meg
below 4 gig. The info apar says 1 TB max for FTP with a DB file. What's up?
How do we get the full capacity?
