Re^2: SCP file size greater than 2GB

in reply to Re: SCP file size greater than 2GB
in thread SCP file size greater than 2GB

Ummmmm? Errrrrrr.... /me scratches head, cogitates, and decides to ask:

First sentence: did you mean "Doesn't" sted "Does?" Seems to me if remote system ok with files > 2GB, one of the two issues you id'ed is non-existent.... hence, would it be correct to emend s/Does/Doesn't/; and then read the rest of the para as "If the answer to question 1 is 'no' and 'yes' to Q2, you'll still...?"

Or, :-) , am I having a logical-or mental glitch?

"Doesn't" sounds wrong to me, but you're right that the first question needs its phrasing fixed. Should be more like: Does the destination filesystem not* support files >2GB?* And then fix the end of the paragraph as you described. I'm not happy with the negation there, but I don't feel like taking the time for a more careful fix at the moment :) "There is no shame in being self-taught, only in not trying to learn in the first place." -- Atrus, Myst: The Book of D'ni.
