    <p>I have an application using an FTP library to transfer files. Receiving files works good, and mostly sending files also. The problem occurs when I'm trying to send a large file (3 MB), in which the application hangs. No error message, no nothing. I have debugged and found out that it stops in the <code>socketWrite0()</code> method in <code>java.net.SocketOutputStream</code>. This method never returns, but just hangs/blocks. It is called from:<br><code> java.io.BufferedOutputStream write() which calls <br> java.io.BufferedOutputStream flushBuffer() which calls<br> java.net.SocketOutputStream write() which calls<br> java.net.SocketOutputStream socketWrite() which calls<br> java.net.SocketOutputStream socketWrite0()</code><br> The file starts getting transferred, but the second time <code>java.io.BufferedOutputStream flushBuffer()</code> is called the transfer thread stops and hangs when it gets to the socketWrite0() method. I have tried adjusting the buffer size in BufferedOutputStream by sending a parameter in it's constructor, and it seems like it does not matter what this size is, it always stops on the second flush.</p> <p>Then I tried to set the Socket setSendBufferSize to 3 000 000, and suddenly everything worked as it should, with the BufferedOutputStream size being default. As long as I set this buffer size to an amount larger than the file size the file is transferred and everything is good! If I set the buffer size to i.e. 400 000 the transfer stops after this amount has been transferred.</p> <p>I cannot increase the BufferedOutputStream buffer unlimited. If I set this too big, the same thing happens: the application hangs at socketWrite0().</p> <ol> <li>Can anyone explain why?</li> <li>How large can the Socket buffer size be? What is the limit?</li> <li>How are the BufferedOutputStream buffer and the Socket buffer related?</li> </ol> <p>Thank you very much!</p>

    2. COAccording to this thread they say that "You can set these socket buffers as large as you like up to 2^32-1 bytes". So setting my socket send buffer to 3MB should be perfectly fine then? This is not too big...?
