Naive File Splitter (NFS) is a simple CLI tool to split a file into several smaller chunks at data level and merge them back. It does not compress or transform the original file in any way. NFS only reads the file in binary stream and writes it into chunks whose number or size is given by the user.
By having smaller chunks of a file instead of a large one, it allows easier and faster data download and upload, and bypasses file size limits inplaced by some cloud providers.
NFS works with any file format.
NFS requires Python >= 3.5.
pip install nfs-estepona
Upon installation, a new nfs
binary will be added to system's path.
nfs split [OPTIONS] SRC
Split the file into several chunks by specifying EITHER:
- number of chunks with
--chunk
flag - size of each chunk with
--size-per-chunk
flag, and the number of chunks is calculated accordingly, i.e. 5kb, 10mb, 1gb
SRC
is the filepath.
Options:
-
-c, --chunk
, INTEGER, number of chunks to output -
-s, --size
, TEXT, size of each chunk
nfs split -c 5 /mnt/c/Users/estep/Videos/Captures/mgs1.mp4
$ nfs split -c 5 /mnt/c/Users/estep/Videos/Captures/mgs1.mp4

nfs merge [OPTIONS] SRC
Merge NFS splitted file chunks into one.
NFS splitted file chunks can be identified with .c1, .c2 (etc.) appended to the end of original file's name (path).
If multiple files that are splitted are found, user can choose which one to merge.
If the original file exists under the same directory, a new file with _copy appended to the filename will be created.
SRC
is the directory path that contains (parent to) splitted file chunks.
Options:
-
-r, --remove
, remove splitted file chunks after merge
nfs merge /mnt/c/Users/estep/Videos/Captures
$ nfs merge /mnt/c/Users/estep/Videos/Captures
