unzipping multiple files error.


This is probably really easy to do but I am stuck.

How do I unzip multiple zipped files in one directory to another directory?

I used: unzip /home/zipped_Directory/* /home/other_Directory

But I get an error about the names not being specified. I just want the names to stay as they are.

Did you try unzip -d /home/other_directory /home/zipped_directory/*? Make sure you have permissions to write to the other directory.
