How to join splitted files from Linux on Windows
So i splitted up a huge file from my Ubuntu Machine (via the split command) into 2GB Chunks so i can download them easier.
Now i have them laying on my Network Share and i can't seem to figure out, how to select all the chunks at once.
I have found this command but i have not given my Chunks a name, like he did with Zipchunks. Command i found
copy /b ZIPCHUNKS* > reassembled-zip.zip
I have 99 Chunks in total, where the first one being called xaa and the last one xdu. I'm wondering how i can select all of them for my command to work.
Thanks
Your command:
copy /b x* > reassembled-zip.zip
is almost right but it should be:
copy /b x* reassembled-zip.zip
The first one is more Linux-like, where the command would just output data to stdout and that data would be redirected to the file, but the syntax is incorrect and anyway IIRC redirecting binary data does not work well on Windows. For the second one it's the copy
command that creates the output file, without shell redirection at all.
The small file that you got with the first command is just the text output (messages, errors, etc) of the command, you can open it with a text editor.
