Zip archive error: size exceeds the limit of 4GByte

[fosterm]

Hello there,

My apologies for this obtuse question, but I'm trying to get content off of an old installation and I'm running into the following error due to a large file in the documentLibrary:

Caused by: org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.Zip64RequiredException: documentLibrary/foo.txt size exceeds the limit of 4GByte.

I believe this is a java issue with using a 32-bit version of zip in the ZipDownloadExporter package. Is there any global-properies configuration that would force Alfresco to use zip64 instead? I can't seem to find a property that would do that (if its even possible).

Thanks for looking.

Hi,

if you are using the "Download as Zip" functionality, the hard limit is 4 GB, see docs.

If you need to download multiple/big files, try connecting via WebDav protocol.

Best regards,
