File Transfer failed with "File too large"

Most of you might be aware of this already.

I was trying to move files from ServerA to ServerB. After copying 10GB, file transfer failed with "File too Large".

Login Target server as root and put the following entry in /etc/security/limits for that particular user.

user1:
        fsize = -1
        nofiles = -1

This makes the size of file transfer as "unlimited".

Hope this helps.
