Split big files

Split files bigger than 4GB for FAT drives on macOS

To split files (into 1Gb files in this example)

# If your file is named YourFile.iso
$ split -b 1024m "YourFile.iso" "YourFile.iso."
# split -b <size> <in_filename> <out_filenames>

After copy and you want to merge them back together

$ cat YourFile.iso.* > YourFile.iso

If that doesn't work

$ cat YourFile.iso.aa YourFile.iso.ab YourFile.iso.ac > YourFile.iso
# cat <filename_1> <filename_2> <filename_etc> > <single_filename>
