The available space on the receiver.

The server (or client) might only be able to handle 32-bit file sizes, 
ie 4GB or (if it uses signed arithmetic) 2GB.

Yes. It's dependant of the receiving system.

Both are solaris 10 sender is 32 bit receiver is 64 bit. Does the
limitation apply?

It depends if the sender's built with largefile support.

The Solaris 10 delivered ftp clients and servers are 64 "clean",
this does not depend on the "bitness" of the kernel.

As far as I know, there is not.  If you are planning to FTP a very large 
file, you will need to coordinate with the sysadmin at the destination 
as to the best time to do so.  If you fail to do so, you may find your 
file transfer chopped off in the middle, your account disabled, etc, etc!
