Random Data File Creator, briefly RDFC, is a console application for Microsoft Windows, which can be used to create binary files of any size filled with random numbers. So, for example developers can create very large files (i.e. 1 TB) in order to test, how their own application deals with it.
You can run rdfc.exe in a console window under Windows, the dialog Execute… or from any other application, which can hand over starting parameters. The following starting parameters are possible:
rdfc.exe <file> <size> [<unit>
[<overwrite>]]
<file> stands for path and name of the
file which is to be created.<size> stands for the file size. You can
put in any number larger than 0. Note that the number is
interpreted with the unit as set for
<unit>.<unit> stands for the unit of the file
size. Possible values are GB, MB, kB and B, where B is the default value.<overwrite> makes it possible to
overwrite existing files. Set the fourth starting parameter to
overwrite. Otherwise application stops, if the
file indicated by <file> already
exists.Note: The Application does not examine whether sufficient place on the hard disk (or the indicated medium) for the file to create. Also the restriction of the maximum file size by some file systems is not examined. If an error occours the application will stop with an appropriate message.
Download the ZIP archive and unpack it into any folder on your hard disk. There ist no installation necessary.
Tip: For checking the downloaded file against the MD5 hash you may use MD5 Fingerabdruck by Carstens & Co.
