Upload to the server with resume support?

[DoctorX]

Hello,
Is there a way to upload a large file to my server but with resume upload ? because the file is large (4GB) and can't upload it at one time.

Thanks

split your files.. so you wont upload it big..

I need it to be one file on the server

Split it and upload it, then extract it.

How can i join the splited files on the server?

depends on how you split it.

Use hjsplit to convert on your home computer and upload the parts. The use cat command (linux) to put them back together.

Say 8 gig test.avi. Hjsplit test.avi and it will create test.avi.001 - .008 (if split to 1 gig each). Upload all files then use cat test.avi.* >> test.avi to create a single file.

you rar them too,then 'unrar x filename.partxx.rar'

afaik, you can split the files by 0.00005mb but still if it fails in the middle of the upload... the "resume" feature depends on the other host you uploaded your file,

if they don't have it, so you neither with yours.

and yes, splitting files will make it easier to upload

you can try uploading via FTP...if the upload is interrupted somehow,just start uploading the same file and when FileZilla asks for rewriting the file/restarting the transfer you can select the 'Resume' option
