FTP huge file transfer

Hi,
I need to transfer 2000 files from one host to another..
I modified /etc/security/limits to -1 and ulimit -f, ulimit -s, ulimit -a..
Even then only 700 files are transferred.
Could You please help me to sort out this issue..
I think some configuration related to memory is left out..
Please help.. Smilie

It would help, if you post the error message you get so we don't have to guess. Use code tags when posting it.

simplier way to do it is
Code:
tar cvf

then scp or ftp it to the target server.

If the OP is for example running out of disk space at the destination host, that won't help neither. It could be a different case than the number/amount of files. Best he'd post the error message Smilie
