FileSplitter
Overview
Even with today's high-speed Internet connections and massive hard drives, sending files of greater than a few MBytes can still be a hassle. FileSplitter lets you split up large files into several smaller ones, then put them back together at their destination. This is ideal when you need to send a very large file via email, save a large file to floppies, etc.
System Requirements
- Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 2003
Recommended System Requirements:
- Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher (Needed for error reporting)
Instructions for Use
Splitting Files
1. Fill in the source file name and output directory
| Source: | The file to split |
| Output: | The destination of the split files |
Use the Browse... buttons to select the files using the Open/Save file dialog boxes
2. Specify the size of the split files
Specify a target size, and use the drop-down list to specify whether the size is in kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB).
3. Click Split!
The source file is split into a FileSplitter Manifest (.fsm) file and 1 or more .split* files.
Merging Files
Click Merge...
An Open File dialog appears. Specify a FileSplitter Manifest (.fsm) of the file to merge. The merged file will be output to the same directory as the .fsm file.
The .fsm file will have the following format: OriginalFilename.OriginalExtension.fsm. An example would be, "MyProgram.exe.fsm."
Be sure that all the .split* files are in the same directory as the .fsm file.
If you selected the "Delete split files after merge" checkbox, the .fsm and .split* files will be deleted after the merge is complete.
FileSplitter Manifest (.fsm) File Format
The FileSplitter Manifest (.fsm) file has the following format:
Orignal Filename
Size of Original File
OriginalFilename.split0
OriginalFilename.split1
:
OriginalFilename.splitn
When merging a split file, the program will check to ensure that all .split* files are present, and that the merged file matches the original file size. This is a guard against file corruption.
