Hello,
I have a file of large file size i need to ftp to another server , i do tar or gzip to get file xxx.zip or xxx.tar
if i do ftp it takes around 5 hrs to transfer the build
is there some utility available in unix which splits the file and can ftp the split files parallely....does csplit works ?
If there is split there should be some utility also to join the split files

I'm missing the point of your question. Do you feel it would take less time to transfer lot of little parts compared to one file if the total bytes transferred is the same ?
If that is really something you want to do, look at split and cat.

Yes split (csplit) is the command
RTFM for your OS to find details.
i.e.
split -b 2m myfile1 splits into 2mb files
