[Zope] Zope FTP - OverflowError: requested number of bytes is more than a Python string can hold

[Jan Schulze]

Hi all,

I am are using ZServer/Medusa for FTP-Uploads to our ZODB. This works for smaller files, but the above error appears in instance.log, when using a ~5 GB file.

There's probably nothing I can do about it, as it's an internal python marshalling limit. Or would there be a way to make uploading big files work?


This is the complete error message from instance.log:
