solarian Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 hello! How can I make a tar.gz or any other compressed file from terminal so that my initial file is made into a compressed file consisting of many parts (7mb chunks)?

DragonMage Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I don't know anything about splitting a tar.gz but there is a command called zipsplit that can split a zip file into many parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
