    Hi, just quickly looking for a file splitter for Unix. apparently zip-split doesnt handle large files, ie this 2GB image I have.
    so basically, does anyone know of any file splitters that will handle large files?

    Thanks.

    If all you want is to break it into equal-sized pieces, use the "split" command. With the -b option, you can specify how many bytes each chunk should be. To recombine them just "cat" them together, like "cat file1 file2 file3 > bigfile".

    Is that any use?

    rar split will handle large files (I know this from experience on a 4G file).
