I need to transfer files in excess of 2Gb from the mac to the PC.Currently im using PC Maclan, but cant manage with this. Would DAVE be up to the job? I seem to remember reading that it is totally not possible if the PC drive is formatted as FAT, but should be if it is NTFS. Ive got 2Gb+ files on both the mac and PC, but how do I transfer them?

no - i dont have OSX - i know i should! so many problems i'm having would be solved. natively though, even with OSX i think i'd still have a problem - was that 10Gb in one file?
any other ideas?
