That just uses smbmount. ll /sbin/mount.smb* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 6 2003 /sbin/mount.smb -> ../usr/bin/smbmount lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 6 2003 /sbin/mount.smbfs -> ../usr/bin/smbmount It looks like the smb file system driver is limited to <2GB in the 2.4 kernel. As a workaround, I usually rdesktop into a Windows machine and pull the large file from the Linux machine. I think that 2.6 has a larger limit, and I am testing it now on FC2, and I'll report back here when it is finished. Forrest
