Question Transferring files/large data blocks

I would like to be able to pass (potentially large) files between a server and client using ice... I've tried using sequence<byte> and it worked just fine at first but when the files got to a few Mbs things stopped working... (I got an unknown exception from the remote operation)

My setup is something like this:

sequence<byte> ByteData;

interface Client {

void uploadFile( string filename, ByteData data );

};

interface Server {

void login( Client* cli );

};

// in client

server->login( client );

// in server

void
ServerI::login( ClientPrx client, ..... )
{
// read file data
client->uploadFile( filename, data );
}

---

This works for small files, eg the test file I used first was 71k...
For larger files I get "Unknown exception" in the server and ClientI::uploadFile is never reached on the client...

So, is there a recommended way to do this?
