How Do I Copy Files larger Than 4GB?
I have a some iso's that I'd like to move to an external drive. The problem is that the iso's are larger than 4GB, and once I reach 4GB the file transfer terminates.
Anyone know how I can get around this. |
Use a filesystem that can hold larger files. It sounds like the external drive is using FAT32.
You are running into a filesize limit with Fat32 and not a limit with the cp or mv commands. If you will just use the external drive to transfer the files to another computer or for a backup, you could use the split command to break it up. Then simply cat the files together redirecting the output to a file. |

Thanks folks.
