Description

When using the FileTransfer class for downloading files to the native filesystem, the download always fails for very large files (> 100 Megs). I noticed that, on the native side, the data are collected in memory and written to the filesystem only when the download process completes successfully. That may cause an out-of-memory exception if the total data do not fit into the RAM.
