Copy large files (over 2 GB) in PHP

Question

I need to copy some big file (6 GB) via PHP. How can I do that? The Copy() function can\'t do it.

I am using PHP 5.3 on Windows 32/64.

You could use exec() if it's a linux machine.

$srcFile = escapeshellarg($pathToSrcFile);
$trgFile = escapeshellarg($pathToTrgFile);

exec("cp $srcFile $trgFile");
