[ale] Copying VERY large files

[John Wells]

Robert,

I usually split it into smaller files:

cat <filename> | split -1000 - new.

...transfer to destination...

cat new.[a-z]* > <filename>

Should work with binary and ascii files, afaik.  Check the flags...it's
been awhile since I've had to do it.

John
