Currently, there's a limit when using 32-bit
operating systems of ~4GB (2^32 bytes) on the size of
a file that the FS COPY request can handle. Other
copy utilities can do this (scp, etc) on 32-bit OS'es.

It would be great to have it accomodate files larger
than this. This is especially important in testing
environments involving large data sets like database
dumps and snapshots.

    The FS service does not currently provided support copying files >= 4GB on 64-bit operating systems either.

    We also ran into this issue. It would be nice to see it addressed. Can the priority be bumped up?
