There are a lot of issues with moving large (>4GB) files around. I
ended up writing a custom utility to send a large file to a Windows
computer, although that may have been more a Windows issue than
otherwise, and if both ends of the connection are Linux then it may be
easier.

Are you able to do it with FTP? If not, I'll see if I can rewrite the
recipient end of my file transfer utility for Linux, and see how it
goes. It uses TCP/IP rather than SMB, as in my experience it's more
reliable.
