Create large dummy file using Terminal command
If you want to create a large dummy file with any extension e.g. : .txt, .dmg, .pdf, .mp4, .mov, .zip, .rar, .mk4 you can do it using mkfile command in Terminal App.
Steps to create a large file :
- Open Terminal App.
- Move to the location where you want to create your file using cd (change directory command)
- Now use command mkfile <size>G your-file-name.ext ( example: mkfile 4G mymovie.mov => will create a movie file with name mymovie of size 4GB)
- Hit Enter, It will take some time to complete the process (depends on the file size)
- When the command completes the prompt should return and file would be created.
- mkfile command also works on other Unix based or Linux Operating Systems.
- Useful stuff! Thank you!!
