Larger TCPdump file

Question

Hey Gents, 
 
 I am wondering a couple things, first, is it possible to do a "tcpdump filedump" that is larger than 100,000 packets? Second, if not is it possible to save multiple .pcap files? I am looking to do a capture over a couple hour period and export it to an FTP server, so I would like to either make one large capture or be able to save multiple captures of the same size. If I need to send the capture to the server before starting a new one as to not over ride the old capture I will be missing important data. 
 Any thoughts? 
 Thanks

Hi Edwin, 
 I don't think there is a limit to capture a .pcap file. We can just capture one file at a time, back in the days of Cyberoam, it was possible to capture .pcap file with different file name but that is not possible with the XG version. 
 Thanks

Pllease use this command- 
 
 tcpdump -c 9999999 -i any -w filename.pcap host x.x.x.x -b -s0
