You can use below mentioned method when you required to split large files in to smaller pieces:
  Syntax:
  
  root :~# split -b 2000 FILENAME
  
  split is the command
  -b stands for bytes
  
  2000b is nearly 2mb (you can change this to whatever you want too for size)
  FILENAME is the filename of file you want to split.
  
  Now, to get that many pieces BACK together again with the CAT command:
  
  put all the "pieces" into one directory and then run the command
  
  root :~# cat * > NEWFILE
  
  Thanks,
