>From the FreeBSD tftpd man page
BUGS
Files larger than 33488896 octets (65535 blocks) cannot be
transferred
without client and server supporting blocksize negotiation
(RFC1783).
Sounds like the default is 512-byte blocks, and tftp uses only two bytes
to define what block number it's sending.
I guess you need to find out if the tftp servers you're using support
RFC 1783. The standard Linux tftp client should do (based on the man
pages at die.net).
Hope this helps
