Rar files in Debian Sarge

[Hellfjre]

Hello,

I've got a problem. How do you rar a big file, in separated rar's of 100mb each, with a password?
apt-get install rar doens't work because the link to the ftp is wrong.
I've tried rarlinux but don't know how to run it.
I'm new with Linux and Debian.. Got the server today. Could some one help me with getting this?

Greets,
Hellfjre

For the rar package, you can take a look here:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/r/rar/

As for compressing a file in multiple volumes, perhaps this can help you:

if i try one of those commands, it says it can't find the file or directory. I'm new with linux.. so what file do I need on that ftp and how you run it?

There is a unrar packages for Debian:
Debian -- Details of package unrar in etch

just install with

sudo apt-get install unrar

command.

For opening archives use this command:

unrar x name_of_file.rar

[markharding557]

you need to enable non free repository
at a root prompt type

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

look for the non free repo line and uncomment it or if it's not there then you will have to add it,save file and

apt-get update

apt-get install rar

by the way debian etch is the current stable version,sarge is now obsolete
