>From memory, so there might be a typo or two Often gzip will reduce logfiles greatly in size. for that, all you need is:
gzip -9 logfile.ext transfer: logfile.ext.gz on receiving end: gzip -d logfile.ext.gz Assuming you actually need to transfer in small chunks: split -10 logfile.ext logfilesplit for f in logfilesplit* ; do gzip -9 $f done transfer: logfilesplit*.gz On the receiving end: for f in logfilesplit*.gz ; do gzip -d $f done cat logfilesplit* > logfile.ext ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Malloy" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2015 8:44:19 AM Subject: [Discuss] large log file transfer I have a log file (325MB) that I need to transfer from a restricted network, that I cannot plug a USB into. Is there an easy way to "split up" the log file into smaller chunks and Zip it to get it over the net? Thanks!
