How to move a file greater than 4GB through FAT32?

[halo45121]

I've got a 4.6GB .iso file on my Ubuntu laptop that I need to copy to my FAT32 external hard drive, and then move to another computer (Windows). I know that FAT32 has a 4GB limit, and that I need to split the file. I don't know how to do that, and I have no idea how I'll put it back together once it gets to the Windows computer. Help?

can't you compress/zip it?

For this, you just have to right click on the file and choose compress

note: not every archive type can split files

Look into "file spanning" using either .zip or .rar . It can split up your compressed file into multiple parts and then automatically recombine them when you extract.

Can't we just use cat to move the file? ie

cat Big.File >> /media/fat32/destination
