SYMPTOMS
When you use the FTP client to put a file on a remote computer, a transfer byte count is reported when the operation is completed. The FTP client that is included with Windows 2000 reports an incorrect transfer byte count if the file size exceeds four gigabytes (GB) in size. No byte count is reported if the transfer byte count is between two GB and four GB.
