FTP, RCP, and RDIST

The services FTP, RCP, and RDIST have been enhanced to support large file transfers (that is, transfer of files greater than 2 Giga bytes).

A 10.20 patch (PHNE_7918) has been released to support large file transfers.
A 10.X patch (PHNE_7917) has been released to handle interoperability issues with large file aware RCP.
A 9.X patch (PHNE_7916) has been released to handle interoperability issues with large file aware RCP.
The existing implementations of RCP on different releases of HP-UX do not check for size overflow. As a result, large file transfers from an RCP that supports large files will not cause graceful termination (it could hang or the file could be truncated).
The 10.X and 9.X patches check for size overflow and cause graceful termination if it is the target of a large file transfer.

A 10.20 patch (PHNE_7920) has been released to support large file transfers.
A 10.10 patch (PHNE_7919) has been released to handle interoperability issues with large file aware RDIST.
A 10.0X patch (PHNE_8107) has been released to handle interoperability issues with large file aware RDIST.
The existing implementations of RDIST on different releases of HP-UX do not check for size overflow. As a result, large file transfers from an RDIST that supports large files will not cause graceful termination (could hang or file could be truncated).
The 10.X and 10.0X patches will check for size overflow and cause graceful termination if it is the target of a large file transfer. RDIST is not available on 9.X.
