Copying a large file from Mac OS X to Windows?

Question

NTFS

I feel terribly stupid, but for almost a week I have not been able to copy a 4.7 GB file (dvd iso image) from a MacBook to a Windows machine.
The machines are located remotely, so there is no way to transfer the file over the network. Through the Internet, too - because of a weak channel.
The obvious solution does not work through USB HDD or USB Flash, since FAT does not allow writing 4.7 GB files, and NTFS and HFS + file systems cannot be used due to their incompatibility.
Working idea: split the file into smaller pieces and copy via USB drive, and then put it back together. But even here I got a fail:
I split the file into zip archives using split ( zip -s 2000000 ISO.zip ISO.iso) with the built-in Mac OS X zip. I copied it to a Windows machine: the archive is not collected either by the archiver built into Windows 7 or by 7-Zip.
Actually, the question is: how to get out of the situation?
PS. Of course, you can go buy a dvd disc and roll everything on it, but there must be a solution based on modern media.

Answer 1

Format the drive to ExFAT. It is possible by means of both OS X and Win.

Answer 2

and use the ntfs-3g driver for macos?

Answer 3

do not split the archive with the built-in GUI tools on a poppy, use the command line, everything will be assembled later in Windows with a bang. checked.

Answer 4

Try building on Win7 with unzip from Cygwin.

Answer 5

On my macbook, I used this software for such purposes . Recommend.

Answer 6

Unix way: linux.die.net/man/1/split
