I have been trying to report an issue related to a backup file which is bigger as the 5MB. Following https://community.safe.com/s/article/upload-a-file-to-the-safe-software-support-ftp I have tried to upload the respective file through the given `curl` command. But whatever I try, I keep getting "Failed FTP upload: 553".
I tried both zipped and unzipped, where the zipped file is around 6GB. Is there anything I can do to overcome this and continue with problem report?

Hello @kailinatsafe , thanks for the fast response. I tried with "test.zip", which causes the same issue. I even tried it with a UUID.

@smol , could you try switching the transfer type and trying to upload individually as both - Binary & Ascii. (Done through: Filezilla -> Transfer -> Transfer Type). Let me know if you have any success with either type! Thanks in advance.
+19Hello @smol , sorry to hear you are having problems reporting an issue. Though the file you are uploading is incredibly large, I don't think the size that's causing the failure. However, FTP doesn't like file names that have special characters, symbols or spaces in it.... I suggest removing these, if present, and trying again!
Hope this helps,
Kailin.
+50One thing to look at is the max file size tomcat (and IIS if you're routing through IIS) will accept

It seems that simply using the FileZilla client worked. Even with the Transfer Type of "auto".
Using the `curl` binary option also resulted in the same result, so it might be save to assume that curl (my version atleast, 7.64.1) has some issues with connecting to the server. Maybe we can update the documentation of this after some further testing, as both the MacOS approach and the Linux approach of https://community.safe.com/s/article/upload-a-file-to-the-safe-software-support-ftp did not work?
Thanks for the help :) Btw, you can delete the files starting with "smol" as this was just uploaded for testing purposes.

@smol , you are most welcome! Glad you were able to upload successfully. All files starting with "smol" have been deleted from FTP. We'll look into reviewing the article, thank you.
