Hello, I am trying to split and send large files 1GB from a PC to an imac
with no luck. There are a ton of file splitting programs out there, but all
of them seem geared towards pc to pc transfer.

OS X supports zip files, so I tried finding a program that will split up zip
files on the pc side and reassemble them on the mac side. Still no luck.

Does anyone know a way to split large files on the pc side and reassemble on
the mac side? I will be using a 128MB flash drive to transport the files.

Thanks in advance.

Try Stuffit (www.stuffit.com). It has something called a Drop Segment
which allows you to chop up large files into smaller peices.

no

but

save yourself the headache, buy yourself a "ethernet cross over cable"

you can link the two computers together (a small network if you will)
and share a folder on one, then copy the file into that folder, map
the drive on the other computer, and just copy it from that folder to
the hard-drive

trust me, MUCH easier then using a flash drive constantly

Thanks for both suggestions. I will consider the crossover cable. In the
meantime I've found an OS X program called "Split&Concat" which will join
files that are split with the extensions *.001, *.002, *.003, etc. and it
seems to work with a couple of windows programs that support splitting and
rejoining these extensions (just ignore the batch file it's not necesarry)
