How - Any File Split &Join for Windows works?

Overview

Any File Split and Join (AFSJ) provides a quick and easy way for the splitting files into any number of smaller files as well as joining these components back into the original file. With just the click of a button, all the file components can be e-mailed as file attachments.  A file split can be accomplished with three simple steps: 

- Select a file;

- Define the number of files to be split into;

- Execute split.

The number of files can be entered or calculated based on expected length of individual files (in bytes). Once file components are generated they can be emailed using:

- Direct mailing (SMTP)

- MS Outlook 2003

- MS Outlook 2007

AFSJ uses a unique naming schema for component naming - If default values are used, every component name will start with the original file name followed by the character “_” , component number and total file components, in brackets.  The file extension will be the same as the original file extension. Owing to the file naming schema, joining components back into original file is only a two step process. Only one component needs to be selected and clicking on the Join button will simply activate that process.

AFSJ is performing a binary Split and Join (default option) and therefore can split and/or join any file such as: pdf, wav, mp3, xls, rtf, txt, iso, avi, png, jpeg, gif, zip, rar, html, doc, eps, avi, bmp, exe, ico, xml, js, css, etc.

NOTE:  
You can also split file as text  / data file when is important that none of the lines end up in two files.

AFSJ  is a very convenient way for splitting movies into smaller files and saving them on CDs or some other removable media and later on joining them back into original file. It also comes in handy when e-mail size is limited, for users with slow internet connections, for backups, etc..

Paired with AFSJ Mobile Edition (for MS Windows Mobile devices only) ASFJ can easily exchange music, pictures, or video files via e-mail, in close to real time between PC and mobile device (phone, PDA…), completely avoiding e-mail size limitations. At the same time AFSJ application effectively preserves available space on your mobile device.

File Split function will split any file into a specified number of components. The number of components is defined either by:

1.       Entering each component’s file length in bytes (default option), or

2.       By entering desired number of files.
 

NOTE:

You can check the   check box, once you have file selected, and

1.       Entering each component’s file length in lines (default option), or

2.       By entering desired number of files.
 

The component is (part of the split file) file name defaults to the original file is name but can be changed.  Component file name extensions are automatically created for every single component and cannot be changed. For example, if “c:\Sample.pdf” was split into 3 files, the default file name for its components would be “Sample”, and the extension would be “pdf “.
“Sample” as value in “Component name starts with:”  field can be changed into “SampleSplit” and components would look like this:

C:\SampleSplit_1(3).pdf
C:\SampleSplit_2(3).pdf
C:\SampleSplit_3(3).pdf
 

The destination folder for all components defaults to the original file folder but can be easily changed.  The original file always stays untouched and no damage can occur using Any File Split & Join.

NOTE:  
You can also split file as text  / data file when is important that none of the lines end up in two files.

File Join function – will join all component files back into the original file.

After any component is selected, the result file name, as well as the destination folder, will be populated with original file name and folder path of the components respectively.

Component list will contain all components in the proper order (from the first to the last).

Simply click Join and all files will be joined into one single file (original file).  

Once a file is successfully joined, please note that if the check box “Remove file components after successful join” is selected (default value) all file components will be permanently deleted from your computer.

If component files have header as the first line of every file, check the check box and the result file will have header line. First line from every component file will be removed before join.

Configure function – allows the user to set e-mail related parameters, as well as an entry point into Address Book maintenance.  
 

NOTE: If Outlook was selected as your default e-mail client SMTP Setup would be disabled.

The default MS Outlook email account is used as the “E-Mail From” account.

To find out values required for SMTP Setup the best way is to check the account settings for the e-mail client you are currently  using or to obtain them from your e-mail provider.

Address Book provides the user with e-mail address maintenance functionality such as: add email account, delete, import from another program, etc.

NOTE: 

To select more than one e-mail address follow these instructions:  

·         select one name and press and hold <ctrl> key

·         go with the mouse to the next address in the range and left click.

License keys are required only for file splitting.  License keys can be purchased from http://www.exnp.com/filesplit/buy.html

Each license key consists of two components:
1. Registered Name – name of the company or individual (purchaser);
2. The Key – unique encrypted (license) file.

NOTE: 

The Import Keys button will open the windows file explorer which will then allow you to select the file with AFSJ keys supplied as an attachment of the purchase receipt.  For example, if “Registered Name:” was “User One” and valid keys were imported, the screen content would be similar to this one:
