I did think about that, but I'm still not convinced he won't get a better response from the Cisco forums.

I would give it a shot there and keep you posted with pertinent responses that the thread elicits.

Perhaps because it is still a new kid on the block. I see some subtle issues registering with my CP credentials though.

Perhaps because people are not told they can post questions there.

File: 4.5GB.
8GB USB stick with 7.3GB free space. Windows can't copy the file saying there's insufficient space.
110GB external drive with about 6GB free space. Windows was able to copy the file.
Uh? Anyone know why less space is fine but more isn't?

Is it FAT32 formatted? The maximum file size on FAT32 is 4GB.

Harold, you may well have explained it. What would you suggest?
To be sure, I very rarely have files of that size. The file itself was a 7-zipped archive of a 17GB database export. Still, it would be nice to know what format would be better.

just format your usb-drive to ntfs -> so it can handle files bigger 4GB

One Problem with USB-drive and NTFS is: You also copy the NTFS ACL with the file.
If you plug the USB drive into another PC you might not be able to get access to the file unless you change the permissions of the file first.
An alternative would be, instead of reformatting the drive, if you're working with zip files anyway to let 7-zip (or any other zip tool) to split the zip file into multiple parts. Makes it easier to handle

That's where I hit a problem with 7zip. I tried selecting the option to split the archive into 600MB CD chunks. 7zip, alas, barfed "Not implemented" at me. I know it's open source but I thought it would have been able to do it. WinRar does splitting as I recall but I think you have to pay for it?
Edit: I tried the split archive with 7zip here at work and it's works fine. Not sure why the same version on my home PC doesn't.

Harold, I just edited the previous reply. Works at office but not at home.

IIRC you have to use the 7z format for it to work, maybe you had it set to something else?
|
|
|
|
|
I only ever use 7zip format because it compresses so much better than t'others.

You could reformat it to NTFS (can be done with the command line tool "convert", which doesn't nuke your files), or use a "split archive" ("split to volumes" in 7zip) (I would choose this option)

If you don't want to go NTFS or just want to try the newest thing for kicks, try exFAT.

ExFAT. Never heard of that until now. Seems I've spent the last few years with my head up my ass.

That's almost certainly the problem.
Do you have to use the file directly from the target disc, or can you split it up with a file splitter/WinRar/other archiver?

As a developer you should be able to write a rough 'linux split like' program in less than 10 minutes.

FTFY. I've reinvented too many wheels in my lifetime. No matter how hard I try, they still keep coming out round. I've tried a few triangular wheels as well.
