If your ncftp is capable of dealing with files (not just listing them) >2GB then it is compiled with support for 64 bit file I/O. If not the 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.
