Hi,
I need help with splinting a 11GB file into 2 smaller .tar(6.5GB each) files so that i can transfer over to my VPS and extract without webspace problems. On my vps, there is only 17 GB of space :S So I want to extract part 1 first, then when prompted, give part 2, but I'll delete part 1 before part 2 starts extracting.

edit: in SSH of course

Thanks!

You can do it with one command.

$tar zcf - my_dir | ssh root@82.146.1.1 tar zxf - -C /root

It command compress directory my_dir and redirect output to tar on server 82.146.1.1. And remote server extract my_dir to /root directory. After all I have cope my_dir on server 82.146.1.1 with path /root/my_dir
