LargestFiles is a Java 1.4 console application to find the biggest files in a list of file or folder names given on the command line. For example, if you have an NTFS disk drive on Microsoft Windows and want to know if all files are small enough to fit on a USB thumb drive (FAT32 format, maximum of 4 GB per file).
There is no graphical interface (GUI) for this program; it must be run from a command prompt, command shell, or terminal window. Run time will depend upon how many files and folders are searched. Most operating systems protect some folders, and this program treats those folders as empty. The code is a template for simple applications that process files, folders, and subfolders.
