I transferred large files by breaking them up on the unix system, and then putting the together again on the DOS side. On unix: I uuencode'ed the file because it had binary data. This also made sure each line was 80 chars. Then I ran the file through split(C) which splits a file into n-line pieces. Since each line was 80 characters, it was easy to calculate the number of lines I wanted in each file. On DOS: I concatenated the files together with the COPY command, then ran it through a public domain version of uudecode for DOS. This worked well for me. The uudecode for DOS was posted to the net about two years ago, it should be widely available in your favorite archive.
