how to unzip a file with .zip extention

radi_1 — Thu, 04 Mar 2004 08:58:22 GMT

Hi
I have downloaded a file to my pc with htm extention and added it to zip so i got a file
with .zip extention,i want to transfere it to
a hp-ux box which i can connect to by ftp,
how can i transfere it correctly with proper suffex or extentiond so i could unzip it using
gunzip or other hp-ux cmd.
Note:
the original file on the internet is a compressed group of files i think ,and they need to be extracted by running Windows
Pkunzip which is licensed to winzip.
Please any bette course of action .
Regards

How about using Unzip for HP-UX? You can get it here:

Make sure you "ftp" it in binary mode. You can then just use "gunzip" on the file. If you have problems with gunzip, you could try this application instead.

HP-UX will understand file zipped by windows.

Put it on HP-UX and user gunzip to unzip it.

If you do not have gunzip get it from HP porting centre.

Hi,

1. gunzip ignores files with .zip extention (at my workstation), so you have to rename it with the new extention .gz.
2. gunzip works like winzip - if you only have one file!

What do you mean with:
- downloaded a file to my pc with htm extention
but
- the original file on the internet is a compressed group of files

Ftp with binary code
Have you renamed the extention to htm?
That wouldn't work with gunzip! (See 2.)

Can use 'tar' at your pc or can you download a tar file?
That would work.

Ftp with binary mode was already said ..

So good luck

If you are relatively current on gunzip and uzip(See PAtrick's post), you will be able to interchange files with Windows winzip without much effort.

Binary transfer is key.

thanks mates,
RAC says that hp-ux understands files zipped
by windows but gunzip usually unzip files with .gz or .tgz extentions while am having .zip window files on pc but when i transfered it to hp-ux box using binary ftp i
put it with .tgz and.gz suffexes ,which maybe i should not have,but gunzip
did not work.
I visited the site for unzip5.50 but it warned about some files might harm my pc so i refrained from downloading it.ofcourse its better for me to unzip these files on my PC
but as mentioned above i could it so i went back to my terretory that is hp-ux.

If the suffix is different, you may need to use -s (If my memory server me right)suffix option of gunzip. Otherwise rename it and unzip.

I personally have NEVER had any problems downloading stuff the the HP-UX Porting Center. I have downloaded the unzip package and installed it without any problems whatsoever on several machines. It works great!
