![]() For example, if your split files are named archive01.zip, archive02.zip, etc. Concatenating them manually and then "fixing" the concatenated file with zip's -FF option is possible, however. There is no convenient way to re-assemble a set of split zip archives into a single unified archive. ![]() If you want or need to create splits larger than 36 Kb, you must specify a different maximum size using the -n option. The default maximum size of a split file is approximately 36 kilobytes, which by modern standards is small. If one of the files inside your archive is large, you may not be able to split the archive at all, because zipsplit cannot span a single archived file across multiple zipfiles. Zipsplit offers little control over how it decides to split up your archive. Zipsplit does not support splitting archives that are larger than 2 gigabytes. In other words, make sure that the order of files in the split archives exactly matches the order of files as they appear in the original archive do not "shuffle them around" when splitting them up.ĭisplay software licensing information, and exit. Perform a sequential split even if it requires more zip files. Pause between each zip file that is output. This option can be useful if you intend to store the split zipfiles on removable disks, and you need extra space on the first disk for other software, such as an executable file to decompress the archives. Make the first split file smaller by room bytes. For the split to be successful, size must be larger than the largest file in the original zipfile. Report how many files it takes to perform the split, but don't actually split anything.Ĭreate a zip index named zipsplit.idx, and include its size in the first zip file.Ĭreate zipfiles no larger than size bytes. ![]() The output of this command looks something like: 66 zip files will be made (70% efficiency)Īs you can see, the result here was 66 new files, archive01.zip through archive66.zip, which together contain the same files as archive.zip.Īrchive.zip is unchanged by this process. ![]() which tells zipsplit to create a sequence of zipfiles, each no larger than 1048576 bytes (one megabyte), which collectively contain the same files as archive.zip. You could use this command: zipsplit -n 1048576 archive.zip Let's say you have a zipfile named archive.zip that is about 50 megabytes in size, and you want to split it into pieces that are no larger than 1 megabyte. Zipsplit does not break the individual files in your archive into smaller pieces therefore, the minimum size of the split zipfiles is the size of the largest file inside the original archive. This command can be useful, for instance, if you need to break an archive into smaller archives that fits onto removable media of limited capacity. Zipsplit is a very simple program which will split an archive into smaller, sequentially-numbered zipfiles. ![]()
