Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally, in mixed case. It's because you're trying to save the file to a FAT32 partition and FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup

I would think, in this case.... that when you're uploading/downloading files to/from an FTP server, and you see a line like: 553 Cannot send file larger than 4 gigabytes scroll by, you can usually safely assume that line (and others with a number at the beginning of the error message) originates from your FTP server, and it is thus not your client/OS that's telling you there is a problem, but the FTP server that has a problem. However - Ken is 100% correct that unless you format your drives with NTFS (in Windows XP), you won't be able to save these files anywhere. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The error message you indicate seems like the kind of message that came from the server you're trying to upload more than four gigabytes of data to, not from a Windows program. You'll need to talk to whoever operates the FTP site you're uploading to about this, or upload less data.
