Hopefully this is in the right forum. The hosting I am using is using a linux server, I've uploaded files that are arounf 250MB through FTP, but it seems to only upload 150MB of it. I need to be able to upload split files and reassemble, whilst still on the server. Does anybody know of an app, or specific utility that can do this for me? Any help would be great.
 
can you ssh onto the linux box? if you can do that then upload it as a tar.gz then extract it. It should hopefully be small enough then. Could the server have a max file size limit?

Yer i think I can get the SSH enabled, it's not at the mo so. There's no file size limit.

What would I do when the tar.gz files are both on the server.
 
navigate to the directory then extract it. e.g.

cd /my/directory/path

if its a gz file:

gzip -d filename.tar.gz

then untar it:

tar -xvf filename.tar

if you're confused about a linux command type:

man command

You can use PuTTY for sshing from windows :)

other commands for this would be:

ls - list directory contents
pwd - print working directory path
