Create split zip files from the command line
Why not create the zip file and then use the split command to make your chunks? Those files can simply be concatenated and unzipped.
Create split zip files from the command line
Exactly. The way to do this, after you create TheBigZipFile.zip (note that I am taking the size of each segment from the article, 4482 MB):
That will leave you with several files called TheSegmentaa, TheSegmentab, etc.
To concatenate on a Mac:
And on the DOS prompt of a Windows machine (oh, the horror!):
You can verify that all three big files are identical my getting the MD5 checksum or similar method (not sure how to do that on Windows without extra tools, though).
One word: Mom
You and I could definitely do that, and that is certainly the way I would've gone if I wanted to split up a tgz file. My mom… not so much, especially not on Windows. If she were using a Mac I probably would've gone with a sparse bundle DMG file. Edited on Mar 21, '13 09:28:07PM by lullabud
