Tip: Quick Note taking on GNU / Linux and FreeBSD from terminal or console.If the archived 7zip files are to be unarchived on another Linux host (in case if multi part zip transfer is between Linux -> Linux hosts) to unarchive, parted files:ħz x Large-file-separated-in-multi-parts.zip.* … Once you have transferred all the many parts via (SSH/ FTPS or not preferrably HTTP / HTTPS / FTP) place them in the same folder and use Windows standard ZIP to unarchive. P7zip Version 9.20 (locale=bg_BG.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,2 CPUs)Ĭreating archive Large-file-separated-in-multi-parts.zip If you want to add security to the transferred file to protect newly created ZIP archive with password use following command:ħ-Zip 9.20 Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov Large-file-separated-in-multi-parts.zip.001, Large-file-separated-in-multi-parts.zip.002, Large-file-separated-in-multi-parts.zip.003, Large-file-separated-in-multi-parts.004 etc. Archiving ZIP file in multiple (sized) parts on GNU / Linuxħz a -v512m Large-file-separated-in-multi-parts.zip Large-Many-Gigabytes-File.SQL Installing 7zip on Debian / Ubuntu and other Debian based serversĭepending on Deb based distro just like with fedora if p7zip-full pack is not installable, check 7zip's package distro version:ģ. Installing 7zip on CentOS / Fedora / RHEL and other Redhat based Linucesįedora / CentOS / RHEL and you don't have 7zip installed yet install it with:Īccording to distros version it might be the name could be a bit different if p7zip is different to find the one you need search with:Ģ. Assuming that you have root (admin) access to the Linux host you can then archive your file in parts using ZIP encryption algorithm with 7zip.ġ.

On the other side on many Company internal Networks with Windows server hosts running – Winblows (2003, 2008, 1012) for security purposes it might be that WinRar is not installed, thus you might need to transfer the file parted between the GNU / Linux server and Windows server in standard OS supported by Windows ZIP format.

However strip's file naming can get you insane (in case if you don't want to use cstrip command – split a file into sections determined by context lines instead) plus normal split Linux / *nix command doesn't support compression and encryption. I give example with UNIX's split and unrar. This is not a common scenario but it happens so if you're admin sooner or later you will need that. Recently, I've blogged on how to move large files from source to destination server in parts on a slow / restricted networks or whenever the media is limtied in size.
