How to transfer 4.5 GB mp4 file or split it in two parts?
Hi,
When I tried to copy 4.5 GB mp4 video to my StoreJet 25M3 (Linux-formatted), the computer failed to do it and reported, “the file is too large”.
When I tried to split that video (using ffpeg) in two, the terminal answered “no such file or directory”.
So how to transfer 4.5 GB mp4 in one or two pieces?
Thanks.

Either you have run out of space on the drive or it is formatted as FAT which has a file size limit of 4GB. I think the lowest capacity is 500 GB and would assume already formatted as NTFS

Zip programs can be used to manage files for space like that.
There may be a convert filesystem but I'd make a full backup or find a way to shrink original then make a new ntfs then move files as you go until you can delete fat and resize the ntfs.
Could you show us the command you tried to use to split the file with ffmpeg. If you were in the correct directory it should have had no trouble splitting the file - with the correct name.

When I enter the Internet with <split mp4 file with ffmpeg>, I get a lot of recommendations, which I try by the "copy & paste" way only, inserting the video name and the time-recording as recommended. For I am not a pro. Sorry, cannot remember them all.
I understand "the correct directory" as the relevant folder & video-file -- in my case, it's <1993 Matthew ++++ (NIV)> & <The Gospel of Matthew.mp4>. I named the folder and the movie was named by some source long ago.

I understand. No need to apologize, we all had to start somewhere. It may require a little experimentation but some version of the commands teckk posted should work once you get the file system on your storage device sorted out.
Since my computer and the <portable hard drive Store-Jet 25M3 “Transcend”> are loaded with the same stuff, I had to use G-Parted to convert Transcend from Fat32 to NTFS system, loosing all data, and reloading it back from the computer. That’s all.
Thank you all.
