If your ncftp is capable of dealing with files (not just listing them)

kernel will plain refuse the application to even attempt to write to
larger files.
It is possible to have a mix where 32-bit applications is compiled for
64-bit file I/O.
The fact that Squid formats the filesize wrongly in FTP listings is just a
cosmetic issue and on its own does not have any bad effects (other than
user confusion), but Squid is also limited by a 2GB file size limitation
so fixing the FTP listing output won't fix the whole problem.
