Re: unzipping a file

Hi,
You need to install "unzip".

Or if java is installed, try using:

jar xvf Components.zip

Hi,

you can't use gunzip if you put several files in one zip-file.
Gunzip only can unzip single files and it only unzip files with the ending '.gz'.

The other way from HP-UX to win is less difficult, because zip also recognizes tar- and gz-files - and combinations.

Re: unzipping a file

Shalom Santha,

If the above utilities could not unzip there are a few possibilities.

You may need a newer version of these utilities.

You may not have a zip file.

file

What does it say?

Or.

ftp/sftp the machine to a pc and let winzip look at it. If its not a zip file winzip will tell you.

See Windows IS good for something.

Re: unzipping a file

Hi again,

have you done what I said?
Which error messages do you get then?

What does 'file ' says?

Re: unzipping a file

Santha, if you do not have unzip installed, you cannot use it.
If you cannot use it, you cannot complain it doesn't work :)

You can install unzip yourself. Get it here:

Some better solutions would of course be
1. Upgrade all your windows boxes to Linux and get the full *nix power
2. Install Cygwin on your windows boxes and at least have some *nix power
3. Use ssh with compression and skip *zip completely
