How can I copy a large file (11GB) file to a thumb drive

Can you please tell me how I can copy a large file (11GB) to a thumb drive (16GB)?

I am copying from Ubuntu and I get a message saying that the file is too large when it reaches 4GB.

I want a Windows machine to be able to read that file on the thumb drive after the copy.

Solution 1:

Format the thumb drive using NTFS. FAT32 limits you to 4GB.

If you need assistance with formating, follow the instructions in this link: http://www.ntfs.com/quest22.htm

Solution 2:

Alternative is to split it with a file splitter into <4 GB chunks. For example, you can use File Splitter. You will have to rejoin the files later though.
