move, copy files without using too much memory

I am using ubuntu and want to move or copy big files.

but as I am using a server with other people, I don't want to possess all the memory and make other processes almost stop.

so is there any way to move or copy files with the memory usage limited?

If you have enough disk space, You can use split and cat commands. Use split command to split your big file into small enough parts, move parts to destination,and then use cat command to append parts together.
