I use Firezilla to upload a rather large .jpa file, it takes forever and then at the end Zilla says it has detected a duplicate file shall i overwrite, skip... The completed file, if I cancel this-- is a smaller file than the one I uploaded and when I try to kickstartt it, it says the file is truncated or damaged,
never had that problem, and if someone is going to have problems its me. I have had issues uploading files with filezilla before, but not the same errors as you.
Personally I just started doing it all from the back end file manager in my cpanel. I will use ftp for smaller stuff that isn't complex with large file structures, but the big templates and the like I always upload from the back end and just extract on my server.
The problem is my ISP must have a time limit or file size limit. The upload stops at exactly the same size every time. 3.2 gigs. Solution when using a .jpa file like Akeeba you can set it to make smaller archives in the backup options, thus splitting the large .jpa int smaller sized archives.
So Far it is working just fine.
Your host will certainly have the option of limiting file upload size. This can be done through the FTP host or Apache configuration. If that's the case, there's not much you can do to get around it besides asking them to raise the limit. If you have access to your site via SSH, you can use the rsync or even scp command.
