>>I don't think it's an NT buffer issue as much as a network connection timeout issue, and I don't know enough about playing with the remote connection timeout parameters for ODBC to make a concrete recommendation here. Have you considered using FTP or some other mechanism to transferr the files to the remote server system, and then have the remote system access the transmitted files after they've been transferred over the link?

Rick Strahl's wwwIPStuff, as well as any number of commercial offerings like the Mabry controls will handle FTP. If you've established a remote WAN connection, you can probably use COPY FILE to accomplish what's needed.
