Just to be clear --
By ulimit jgt meant
1. logon to the remote box
2. issue the ulimit command over there as the ftp user
3. ulimit on the "sending" side does not really apply.

It is good practice to set up ftp accounts with reasonable file size limits. Maybe the setup on the receiving box is too stringent. Or there are file quotas set on the remote user's account.
Code:
quota -v

on the remote box run as the remote user will show you.

NAME
ulimit - get and set user limits SYNOPSIS
#include <ulimit.h> long ulimit(int cmd, long newlimit); DESCRIPTION
Warning: This routine is obsolete. The include file is no longer provided by glibc. Use getrlimit(2), setrlimit(2) and sysconf(3) instead. For the shell command ulimit, see bash(1). The ulimit call will get or set some limit for the current process. The cmd argument can have one of the following values. UL_GETFSIZE Return the limit on the size of a file, in units of 512 bytes. UL_SETFSIZE Set the limit on the size of a file. 3 (Not implemented for Linux.) Return the maximum possible address of the data segment. 4 (Implemented but no symbolic constant provided.) Return the maximum number of files that the calling process can open. RETURN VALUE
On success, ulimit returns a nonnegative value. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS
EPERM A non-root process tried to increase a limit. CONFORMING TO
SVID. SEE ALSO
