Error from cat

To whom it may concern,

I want to copy a 9GB File (*.tar.gz) to another Server, for this
purpose I split this File in pieces of 2GB, because >scp< can't copy
such large Files. After them I want to merge the five files to an
distination file with the original size of 9GB.

First I tried it in a single CommandLine (like  cat a b c > d  )
but it does not work and so i had to write the little following
script:

#!/bin/bash
cat sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz.xaa >
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz cat
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz.xab >>
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz cat
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz.xac >>
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz cat
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz.xad >>
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz cat
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz.xae >>
sich_dod_ohne_mnt_raid_300402.tar.gz
exit 0

But every time I got the Message

cat: write error: File to large

What can I do? Can you help me?

Bye
Roland
