Linux [Solved] File Splitting And Renaming Problem
OK So I Recently Bought A whatbox Seed-box Act!!:cool:

I am connected to whatbox via SSH!!!

Now i have downloaded a movie and renamed it to 2yify.mp4 (800MB):o

When I TYPE the command to split it which is:)

split -b 400m 2yify.mp4

It gets renamed into two parts with different names like xxa and xda i guess!!!:(

i want to rename them as yify 1 and yify 2!!

Also please help in how to split and rename them to rar for example yify1.rar yify 2.rar

You might consider reading man split. One possible result would be
Code:
split -a1 -d -b500M 2yify.mp4 yify

"Renaming" to *.rar should not be done as .rar usually indicates a compressed archive.

It would help everyone if you would post the system information of the computer you are trying to do this work on.

You said you "downloaded" the file; so we assume you are now on a unix or linux system.

What exact system are you using?
