Using the split command to split into 10Mb units :-


# split -b 10m vmsa.303.prod.tar.Z

Produces four r output files which can be FTP'd

# ls -la x*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    10485760 Sep 13 15:14 xaa
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    10485760 Sep 13 15:14 xab

-rw-r--r--   1 root     other     264165 Sep 13 15:14 xad

At the receiving end they can be joined together :-

# for i in aa ab ac ad

# ls -la newfile

Subject: [HP3000-L] splitting a file on the HP to help in FTP'ing it.


I have a monthly extract file that gets created, approx. 200 megs worth of
data.  The service I am ftp'ing to, can only handle files of 50 Meg or
smaller.  Is there a utility on the HP, or available for the HP, that can
take the file and split it into smaller chunks for easier handling?

Thanks in advance
