Hi Richard, I'm sure there would be an an easier way, but you could split the file into 1.5GB segments and re-join them after transfer. Split: split -b 1500m -a 1 'filename' part Join: cat parta partb partc partd > 'filename' Regardless, if my OS needed its hand held for the most basic of tasks I'd: 1. rm -rf / 2. www.apple.com.au Regards, Simon _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
