I had trouble years back when trying to download CUM from IBM site.
Never got a resolution.
From an old post.
4 times, 4 failures
There are 3 large files.
FILE BYTE COUNTS
----------------
The ilstSF99610.txt byte count is approximately: 429760.*
The SF99610_1.bin byte count is: 4241489920.
The SF99610_2.bin byte count is: 4241489920.
The SF99610_3.bin byte count is: 988919808.
The FTP runs 30 to 40 minutes, always stops or fails around 1gb, only ¼ complete.
Same results on any three of the files.
Do you know of anything on our side that would limit large FTP files, either a size or time limit.
0057.00 > get SF99610_1.bin
0058.00 227 Entering Passive Mode (170,225,15,101,249,62)
0059.00 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for SF99610_1.bin (4241489920 bytes).
Unable to receive data from TCP/IP.
No response from remote host; all connections closed.
Debug Assistance
These errors are usually the result of a network problem external to the IBM System i system.

I have a large file (7GB) that I'm trying to retrieve from my IBM i
server using FTP from a PC client. I start the process and it runs for
a while. It stops and reports the number of characters transferred but
when I look on the PC, there's no file there. When I repeat this
process on a smaller file (4MB), it works just fine.
NecroPosting in reply to thread:

Is this a timeout issue?
Very likely; a default timeout, for how long a file transfer is allowed to remain active before the connection is dropped, despite data/messages may be actively exchanging -- thus *not* a timeout due to inactivity.
How can I start the FTP process and tell it to not time out?
I'm using the command FTP window on the PC.
The IBM i FTP server accepts a STAT FTP subcommand, from which FTP
211 feedback messages will reveal what setting in seconds is the "File transfer time-out value". For example, in the client session, issue the QUOTE subcommand to pass the STAT subcommand to the server; a likeness of the resulting messages from the server appear below the request for the server to describe the "status of FTP session":
quote stat
211-FTP Server connected to remote address host ...
211-NAMEFMT set to ...
...
211-File transfer time-out value set to 420 seconds.
211 Current inactivity time-out value set to 300 seconds.
The IBM i FTP server also accepts a TIMEOUT FTP subcommand, for which a setting in seconds can be established for both the "inactivity time-out value" [an override to the INACTTIMO setting mentioned by Rob, as available from the Change FTP Attributes (CHGFTPA) command] and a "File transfer time-out value". For example, in the client session, issue the QUOTE subcommand to pass the TIMEOUT subcommand to the server; a likeness of the resulting FTP 250 messages as feedback from the server appear below an example request that might be made:
quote timeout 600 20000
250-File transfer time-out value set to 20000 seconds.
250 Inactivity time-out set to 600 seconds.
