FTP server download limit problem

Hi to all, i have a customer with this problem:

 

it isn’t possible to upload files larger than approximately 3GB to our ftp servers.

 

We also have a server without a vip. Uploading a 4GB file directly to this server isn’t a problem.

 

So it looks like there is some sort of limit in the connection via the vip.

 

We would like to have this limit removed.

 

have someone a solution ?

 

thanks in advance

 

Luigi

    there was a similar issue a while ago, but no solution i believe. it might have to do with some timeout or such. without packet captures it will be difficult to determine, i would advise you to contact support about this and please report back with their answer.

    As Boneyard has said, we had a similar issue where the TCP Profile (Or was it FastL4...) Had a timeout value of X.... Because of this, as the F5 saw no SYN packets in the period, the connection was closed due to inactivity (Even though data was transferring)...

     

    Might be worth investigating.
