Error description
If a user's fsize setting (as shown by "ulimit -f") is greater than 8388607 (blocks) than the effective limit on files created by ftpd for that user will be an apparently random number from 512 bytes to (4G-512) bytes. [The effective limit value, in blocks, will actually be the remainder from the division (fsize/8388608)]
Local fix
Issue can be circumvented by using an unlimited size fsize=-1 or file sizes less than 4GB-512 bytes i.e. no values greater than fsize=8388607 using a command like chuser -a fsize=8388607 USERNAME with the lsuser command available to look up and verify, e.g. lsuser -a fsize ALL
Problem summary
Failure in ftp data file transfer 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening data connection for test.file. 452 Error writing file: File too large 204800 bytes sent in 0.001218 seconds (1.642e+05 Kbytes/s) local: test.file remote: test.file
Problem conclusion
Code changes have been done to take care of data type cast while calculating the limit values
Temporary fix
