Because it won't be accurate anymore due to you can not store the
precision you want in a float.

Sorry, I did not know that. I mean, I did know that ints on my system
are limited to 32 bits (31 plus sign), but I always thought that php
could handle numbers larger than that. Maybe a silly question: why
does
$number = 4190578688;
print $number."<br/>";
print $number + 10;
work then? With var_dump() I see that $number is treated as a float
value. Why can't ftp_size() just return a float then?
Not being able to recognize files larger than 2GB seems somewhat dated
to me. No offense - I just wonder why this doesn't work. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not

PHP does not support numbers > 2^31 at this moment.

Description:
------------
On my FTP server I have a file which is about 4GB large. The FTP server
(vsftpd) reports the file size correctly (checked with sniffer), however
ftp_size() does only return a size of 2147483647 (2^31) bytes. Obviously
ftp_size() does not support files larger than that, as I get the same
result on other large files.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$conn_id = ftp_connect($server);
$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, ".");
foreach($contents as $file) {
print ftp_size($conn_id, $file);
}
Expected result:
----------------
The correct file size
Actual result:
--------------
A file size of 2^31 bytes.
