Creating empty file

Comment:

Is there any way to create an 150 MB empty file so that when I send it over Internet, it is sent really fast as though the real size was 0 MB?? Thank's!

I don't know what you are asking. An empty file, by definition, is zero length - there is nothing in it. A file that is 150 MB is NOT, by definition, empty.

You can create 150Mb of 0s and compress it on the fly down to 145 bytes with: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=150 | bzip2 -c > 150mb.bz2
