File downloading problem fix PDF Print E-mail

A common problem when a file won't download is that it exceeds the user?s UNIX file size limit. Check for this problem using the UNIX limit command.

  1. Log in as the user with the problem and execute the limit command.
  2. The return display includes the file size limit for that user (if any).
  3. If the file size limit is lower than the file being downloaded, this is the likely problem.
  4. You can change the file size limit for the duration of your login by typing the unlimit command.
