Abstract

Example implementations relate to determining variable chunk size for transfer of a file. For example, a system for determining variable chunk size for transfer of a file may include an available memory engine to determine an amount of available memory in a receiving server, where the receiving server is to receive a transferred file greater than a threshold size from a sending server, a raw chunk size engine to determine a raw chunk size for transfer of the file based on the available memory of the receiving server and a memory usage ratio for the receiving server, and a variable chunk size engine to determine a variable chunk size for transfer of the file based on the raw chunk size and a memory storage integer limitation of the receiving server. The system may further include a transfer engine to cause a transfer of the file from the sending server to the receiving server using the variable chunk size.
