cylf will cut your files into binary chunks that can be re-merged together using only the name of the original file.
This comes in handy when a hosting service has file size limit in the files you upload: with cylf you cut them following the size limit so that upload is allowed, and then in any desired machine you dowload those pieces and merge them using cylf again!
-
Download the binary you need.
-
In the same folder you got the binary, store the needed input files/folders.
-
Inside
bin/folder, you will find the folders that hold the two executables (cutter + merger) of the program. Currentlycylfis available for:-
Linux Ubuntu
-
Windows 10
-
Open a terminal, go to the directory where the two executables and all the input files are located correctly, and type:
./cylf -a cut -n 95 -f <FILE_NAME.EXT>
or
./cylf -a merge -i <FOLDER_NAME_WITH_PARTS> -f <OUT_FILE_NAME.EXT>
depending on the action you want to do. Notice that <FOLDER_NAME_WITH_PARTS> is just the name of the folder, not the path.
*Note: if you run sudo chmod 777 cylf before any of the two commands above, you can replace ./cylf with cylf inside such commands. Also, if you want the output written to a file, add at the end of the command: > output.txt.
Open a terminal, go to the directory where the two executables and all the input files are located correctly, and type:
start cylf.exe -a cut -n 95 -f <FILE_NAME.EXT>
or
start cylf.exe -a merge -i <FOLDER_WITH_PARTS> -f <OUT_FILE_NAME.EXT>
depending on the action you want to do.

Open a terminal inside ./src/folder and type:
export GO111MODULE=off
in order to avoid error messages such as package XXX is not in GOROOT or similar.
Then, type:
go run cylf.go -a cut -n 95 -f <FILE_NAME.EXT>
or
go run cylf.go -a merge -i <FOLDER_NAME_WITH_PARTS> -f <OUT_FILE_NAME.EXT>
depending on the action you want to do
