Unix compress-Wintel uncompress
Is it possible to compress a large Unix file (16GB), then FTP it to a Wintel machine running XP then uncompress?
I have already attempted to FTP the 16GB file but it stops at 4GB because XP FAT32 formtted drives will only allow 4GB file sizes.
The 16GB file in Unix(Solaris) compresses to less than 4GB but
NTFS formatted dirves will allow unlimited file sizes.
Ideally I would like to compress the Unix file to less than 4GB, FTP it to XP, then uncompress on an NTFS formatted drive.
Can this be done?
