I could do with a bit of help if possible - trying to sort out a podcast, some of the files are over 150MB and it seems you cant send more than 150MB per file over FTP. DOes anybody know any other way ofuploading them?

I've been advised to split them and join them on the server, but cannot find any software to join them whilst they still stay on the FTP server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D
 
The 150MB is likely a restriction with the FTP server you are using - I have uploaded far bigger files than that via FTP.
 
As SiriusB says, likely an issue with the actual server. I've FTPd files into the GBs before let alone a few MB. Is the FTP server on a Linux host? If so you could use tar to split the archives into <150MB chunks (file.tar.bz2.01 etc), and then use the 'cat' command to put them back together on the remote file system?
 
Thanks - yeah it is a Linux host, Ill have a look at doing the above - I Don't suppose there is an app available to do that remotely? Currently uploading the files through A Network Place I have added in Computer.
